Four men died last
night. A major from one of the regiments came to see some of his men here. He
doesn't enthuse much over the conditions on board ship.
Night. Hear the
vessel with the 128th has sailed. I am left behind, but I am getting along so
nicely I will surely be able to go soon. Am a little weak and have a
troublesome cough, but upon the whole am much better.
