I have made an attempt during the past year to increase profitable labour amongst the prisoners and although I have been most successful as far as I have been able to go, want of room curtails any further endeavours in this direction.
Out of the Officers' fine fund I purchased a number of amusing and instructive books and now there is formed the nucleus of a good Officers' library. The want of a reading room is very much felt, but at present there is no accommodation for such a purpose.
