Abstract
"There are 298 federal officers confined in Richland Jail at this place, and in a camp about five miles from the city are 1,300 other officers recently sent from Charleston by Maj. Gen. Sam Jones without my knowledge or consent, and placed by him in charge of Capt. E. A. Semple, whom I had sent for another purpose, viz to superintend the construction of a very large prison, which am directed by the Secretary of the War to have built. Captain Semple represents that these officers were thrown suddenly on his hands, giving him no time for preparation, and that he is in want of almost everything necessary for their accommodation."
