We found before our removal from Anderson- ville that even in the very warmest weather the nights were sometimes quite disagreeable, and the dew so heavy as to give us a thorough wet- ting. When it rained hard our roof did not amount to much ; nevertheless, we were in a 338 NECESSITY AND INVENTION, more comfortable condition, and felt considerably richer than when in the old part of the prison. The reader may, perhaps, think that this was a small matter, but to us it was one of the greatest imp...ortance, and we prized our mud-house very highly ; more so, no doubt, than some men do their brown-stone fronts. It is said, "necessity is the mother of Invention," and our prison life fully demonstrated that to be a fact. Some of the mud-houses and stoves were quite a novelty, and required considerable skill in constructing them. Among the inmates of the prison were quite a number of men who were members of churches at home. These men were desirous of forming some system of holding religious meetings, but the terribly crowded condition of the prison had prevented much action being taken in the matter.
