Diary of 1st Sergeant John L. Ransom: September 24, 1864

Arrowroot soup or whatever you may call it; don't like it; makes me sick. Priest spoke to me. Cross and peevish and they say that is a sure sign will get well. Ain't sure but shall be a Catholic yet. Every little while get out the old diary from under the blanket and write a sentence. Never was made to be sick —  too uneasy. This will do for to-day.
