National Tribune, Washington, D. C., August 23, 1888, p. 8. THE PROVIDENTIAL SPRING Editor National Tribune: Allow me space in your valuable paper. I am one of the Andersonville skeletons and a witness of the spring referred to by W. H. H. Kennedy, and before the spring made its appearance, I saw a comrade reach under the dead-line for a cup of clear water when a rebel sentinel shot him through the head and looked down and laughed in such a demonical manner that I can never forget the circumstance.
