June 25 - Crawled about in P.m. My friend Dr. Smith put me to bed. Pain in bowels. In distress. Mustard helped none. Morphine finally quieted me.
June 26 - Drowsy and confined to bed. Weak. Murphy nurses me. Excellent care. No appetite. Have fever and loose bowels. Take medicine. Can eat, gruel and beef tea.
June 27 - Still sick. Col. Swayne, Mr. Boyd and Mr. Rose, Col. Herrick, Maj. Park and James Fifer* and other privates very kind.
June 28 - In bed all day. Some Sunday thoughts. Mr. Fry was too unwell to preach to regiment.
June 29 - Col. Swayne of his own accord has kindly got me a sick furlough of 20 days and pushed it through. Home here.
* James W. Fifer of the 67th Ohio Volunteer Infantry
