Same job as yesterday still clearing up the roads. Dead bodies cannot be buried so we have to burn them. Most gruesome job. The prisoners have to do this work which is nauseous to them as well as us. Stench of burning dead is most sickening.

Some of the boys went to hospital & very sick. We expect fever to break out. I am well so far.
