Upon awakening this morning I discovered that my throat was sore and that a cold had taken possession of me with vengeance. Paraded sick at 4-30 pm, and, upon being examined by Capt Kirkwood was admitted to ship's hospital with Tonsolitis and Influenza. Temperature 104° when first taken. Slept poorly throughout the night but felt better in the morning.

Examined by Capt again at 10 am. Temperature considerably lower and though I was kept in bed all day, by evening I was almost OK again. Night fearfully close though beautifully mild.
