Sweltering hot. No worse than yesterday. Said that two
hundred die now each day Rowe very bad and Sanders getting so. Swan dead, Gordon
dead, Jack Withers dead, Scotty dead, a large Irishman who has been near us a
long time is dead. These and scores of others died yesterday and day before.
Hub Dakin came to see me and brought an onion. He is just able to crawl around
himself.
