John S. Mason to P. S.—Since writing the above, I have received a letter from a Mr. Thomas Kingsly Jones, a British subject, from Rankin county, Mississippi, who, according to his own statement, has been most harshly dealt with, assaulted, and one eye injured, and imprisoned as a malefactor at Jackson, in a bitterly cold prison, for resisting the conscription. Mr. Jones holds a certificate of British nationality, and he has already rendered military service here, and has been honorably discharged, whose soldier’s discharge is on file at my office. G. M, July 29, 1863
