Ben Crowther is
awful sick. He is a fine fellow and we hate to lose him. He is of better stuff
than the average of us. I wish I could kill his nurse, for he has him tied down
to the bed and stands laughing at his efforts to get loose. But it is the only
way to keep him in one place, for he is out of his head. Talks to his wife as
if she was right by his side.
