Helena, Wednesday, Sept. 23. Had a shake last night of about two hours in length, followed by very heavy fever, and my head ached severely all day. A small mail was received, but none for me. Sadly disappointed. “Christian Commission” came into our camp this afternoon with wagon full of tracts, “Child’s Papers”, “Tract Journal”, etc. which were distributed “without money and without price”. A couple of our boys crossed the river in a dug-out for fresh meat this evening, but were sent back by guerrillas who chased them.
