ABSTRACT
SINCE an opportunity arose above to write about the lack of fresh meat and perhaps an even more serious lack of water, I show here the method by which besieged Northerners, along with relief of their other needs, also set about the business of getting water. They suffer such a scarcity of spring water or well water, because of their investment by the enemy, that they are compelled either to surrender to the besiegers or to perish from incurable sickness or unavoidable death.
