A "Secesh" Prisoner
Summary
H. L. Brady, Esq., former editor of the Middletown Whig, writes a letter from Fort Delaware where he is in the Union prison. He was captured along with about 200 other Rebels in the late battle at Winchester. He describes the treatment as "in the kindest manner" and has no complaints. The Herald contrasts this to the treatment of Union prisoners in the tobacco warehouses of Richmond and suspects that Mr. Brady, when released, will "become a good Union man."
