From the Richmond Examiner, 2/16/1864
THE ESCAPED YANKEE OFFICERS. – No more re-captured Yankee officers were
gathered in at the Libby yesterday. The number sticks at forty-eight. Possibly
two or three more may be picked up, skipping about over the country; but the
number re-captured already, and yet to be taken, will not exceed the half of the
one hundred and nine who got off. Half a loaf is better than no loaf. As for
Straight, the Confederacy got more than ten times his value when it received
Morgan back, and can afford to let him run. Bon voyage, whiskey
Straight!
