TUESDAY 15<\/p>\n

I have been quite ill today, had a slight chill, pulse up to 100 all the after part of the day. Must take some medicine tonight. I went to the Prests this evening (fever and all), saw Maj Watt. Think matters are in pretty good train for a post in Sec’y Smiths Dept. The weather is most delightful now and the nights beautiful with a full moon. No war news stirring.<\/p>\n
