"I joined my regiment at Poolville, Maryland, thence to Harper's Ferry, thence to Charlestown near Alexandria. Then via Berryville to Winchester, back to Berryville and ordered from there to Washington; and from there went by boat to Yorktown- ordered and started about midnight to West Point, Va.
I was taken sick and carried to Whitehouse Landing, thence to Alexandria and entered Queen Street Hospital and the typhoid fever. When I got better I was detailed to wait upon the sick at the hospital (Emery Hospital) at Washington; was there about a month and not gaining any strength the Surgeons examined me, and said I would not live two months. I was sent to Fort McHenry and there discharged; being very week when I got home.
