Cloudy and foggy; have taken cold in my face; ankle worse
today, too; have not been outdoors. Orry Blanchard has been in to see me; saw
Mr. Walters in the barroom, also Mr. Hanson, but did not know the former.
Sergeant Hogle has called. My wound is paining me more than usual tonight; jaws
in bad condition; hope the fractures will heal all right. I thought the
Johnnies had shot my whole chin off at first; it was paralyzed a long time, and
don't feel right yet; it must be the jaw.
