Weather beautiful but the morning is hot. We go through our regular drills. The city and outskirts are quiet and many improvements are made on the street. The Wagner Circus arrived this morning from Australia and will locate here for some time here. This is quite a curiosity for all who live here. I worked all day at headquarters. We received some more mail today. I got one from home but the news was not very good as Mabel (daughter) is sick with a bad cough. We have seven on guard and eleven men on outpost. Four men are left on the sick list. The men are not heard from yet.
