2d Lieut. Elliot:
Diary:

     June 10-Tuesday

     Hot day again as usual almost scorchs a man as he walks through the streets.

     Went over to Quarters to see Captain the first time I have been over since I went to Hospital. found Captain down on his back and quite sick.

     Wrote home to Jane about poor Harvey Wood’s death and enclosed a letter from the Doctor to his Father. His folks will feel this blow badly.

     Sergeant Major under arrest for insulting language to Adjutant.

     Adjutant returned to duty to day. I would I could have returned to duty with him but must needs wait a few days longer.
