Transcription

Monday July 26th – Sunday Aug 1st

Bed – Bed – Bed. – Fever – Chills – After a few days of 103-101 my temp dropped and on Thursday Dr. Strong left for camp leaving Theiler to come up with me as soon as possible. And as soon as he left I proceded to throw a temp. of 105.6. In consequence they sent a runner up to camp & he came dashing back Friday with Hal & Dr. Shattuck. And of course when he got back I was normal. So Shattuck & Theiler went back on Sat. leaving Dr. Strong, Hal & I to wait until Monday. Having stayed down four days to take pictures of the Holiday you might know that I would get sick – be in bed for the holiday – and then delay the whole party for a week. Oh well such is life. Sunday I got up for the first time
