medicine sent to me evry

day but I did not take but

little of it as it was quinuine

and I did not choos to take that

You wish to know the cause

of my sickness well I will answer

that for you it was from being

exposed to the weather having to

sleep out on the field in rainy

nights and having to make forced

marches and then sleep on the damp

ground and an other reaso is that

we had to work verry hard getting

shot and shell to our artillery

I have had to carry boxes of shell

that weighed 250 lbs across the

decks of thre vessels and put them

on the shore others would take

them and put them in the

waggons
