April, Tuesday 29, 1862

Woodsmill near Winchester.

Today as well the weather was very pleasant. I am going for a walk and feel only attacks of weakness.

In the afternoon I receive through Basson's intercession, a beautiful Heron to be stuffed as a present, from a soldier of the Garibaldi Regiment. Lt. Mathesins skins same.

Captain Hoefer too is suffering from the fever, supposedly badly afflicted.

In the evening I get another dose of Quinine.We take a little green tea with milk for the evening. Tea is a little strong for me. Yet I feel excellently during the night, that is to say warm.

Ruf our Postmaster arrives from New Creek with letters from the Twenty-first of March and the sixth of April.
