e entertainment and comfort of all the great company. Musical and Christian associations were formed, and finally they issued the Prison Times. The Times illustrates so plainly the cheerful and hopeful spirit of these gallant officers, and gives such insight behind the scenes of prison life, that it deserves to be preserved among the annals of the great war. The original paper was presented to the Historical Association by Major E. D. Willett, who received it from the wife of Lieutenant A. T.
