April 5.
We have had no
freezing weather since we returned, but have come back to a comparatively cold
climate. I sleep warmly, but smile at the transfer from my luxurious chamber
and spring bed at Jacksonville to this unwarmed tent in the sand, with hospital
stores boxes for my bed and my field case of instruments for my pillow. Never
an aching bone nor soreness of muscle from this. Sleeping half dressed is the
normal condition and when I get along habitually to coat and cap and boots and
spurs I don't see what special advantages bears and buffaloes will have over
me.
