This is a fine, but hot, day. Several of the boys received some new campaign hats of which there were few left. We received white duck suits and the officers are getting new white uniforms which look very soldierly. The Captain told me that we were soon to be relieved by Regulars who were already on their way here. [Frank] Christopher, [Max] Hannan, [James] Baird, [William] Kennedy, [John] Curry and [George] Conn are on the sick list.
