From this day until the 21st I was sick and therefore kept no record. Spent most of the time in bed ailing from sunstroke. Accepted on the 12th, Dr. Coffin attended to me and done good service. My roommates looked after me as well. The weather was terrible. Hot every day. On the 20th our Company was on outpost. There was not any trouble. We also received, each, a flannel shirt, two pair of socks, a pair pair of barracks shoes and a campaign hat. The “rookies” received two blue gingham shirts in addition. Reed Murphy was taken on the 17th to the hospital with small pox. We were all vaccinated again. [John] Asendorf, [David] Twist and Jones are on the sick list and a dozen more are on light duty.
