15 January. 24. Was selected again to act as officer of the guard today; but I am too sick to do duty and so shall remain at my tent. Have been quite unwell for the past three or four days, in spite of the doctor's Rhubarb and Quinine. Am now going to cure myself by letting all medicines alone and eating sparingly of food. [?] is still sick at the hospital. The doctor does not think him very sick and tells me he will get out in a few days. I hope so truly
