US Adjutant General reply: enlisted in the Rebel Army and was recaptured in arms against the US Government. As to the enlisting I do not deny it. Under the circumstances I feel justified. I had been a prisoner for nearly a year; and that I did as many others did at the same time. After thinking the matter over I came to the conclusion that it was the only thing we could do to save our lives. We had no shelter, food, or clothing; was naked at the time of our pretended enlistment, and was at the time loyal to the Union, and that we gave ourselves up at the first opportunity. Having thrown away our arms without firing a shot.   ...I am inmate of the County Hospital... suffering from the effects of that terrible imprisonment..."
