It is very warm. Still lying on my old cot. The hospital is
one of the hardest places that I have found since I have been in the service;
but when a soldier gets sick, he has to go there so that he can be taken care
of. I have been in the United States service three years now, and this is the
first time for me in the hospital. I hope that it may be the last time.
