Transcription

Some time after dinner we sent for some wine. It has been reported, by some; that this was taken as a sacrament. It was no such thing; our spirits were generally dull and heavy, and it was sent for to revive us. I think it was Capt. [Dan] Jones who went after it; but they would not suffer him to return. I believe we all drank of the wine & gave some to one or two of the prison guards.
