This is another fine, hot day. Our Captain [Bierer] visited our men at the hospital and reports John Baird very sick and [Robert] Fox almost impossible that he will live and the doctor blamed it on the Regimental doctor and says it was neglect that they didn’t examine him and simply treated him for cramps which Fox didn’t have. The Captain [Bierer] had told them that Fox was struck in the stomach the night of the 31st with a stone of some heavy dirt from the breastwork which was enough, I think, to start inflammation. But, like any other sickness, they filled him up on pills. [Frank] Hustead, [Frank] Christopher, [Charles] Lewis, [Max] Hannan, [Charles] Collins and Joseph P. Johnson are on the sick list.
