Thanks for Winchester's advice and encouragement. Polk is glad to hear that Winchester is residing in private quarters, rather than in prison. He informs Winchester that the non-commissioned officers have written him recently regarding "the many hardships they endure which might be meliorated by the allowance of some of their pay." The men have written to Col. Gardner for assistance, but have heard nothing from him. The officers imprisoned with them have donated some of their own funds, but money is now running out. Written at Quebec Prison, Quebec, Canada.
