No news. All is quiet. I am still gaining strength slowly.
We get very poor board here for a sick man to gain strength on, but we must
make the best of it at present. The room we occupy, called a ward, is about one
hundred feet long north and south, and fifty feet wide. There is a row of cots
on each side. My cot is on the west side, and in the afternoons it is so hot
that we can hardly stand it. There are windows in front and along the west
side.
