Returning Home From Confederate Prisoner Exchange Journey
The narrator recalls marching prisoners, counting lists, and the stark contrast between clean, well-clothed Confederates and starving, ragged Union captives. On boarding, relief floods the speaker as enemy hands release them, coffee and meals refresh, and the engine room hums as they drift toward freedom, amid delirious, intense emotions.

Washington sojourn of Confederate prisoners in loyal hospitality
The narrator recalls marching toward James River vessels, then reaching Washington with no money or home comforts. Thanks to Mrs. Fales a pavilion for convalescents opened, army blue garb replaced Confederate rags, and a smiling reception with ice cream followed. He glimpses Lincoln among Washington sights.
