Suffering from a violent attack of Rheumatism - beginning to pay for my good health while campaigning. Poorly to the 20th, could not go to Mess.

Attacked with dysentery, and poorly to the 4th Dec[embe]r. Confined to my room with fever and dysentery to the 11th, very weak. Took a walk.

The dysentery returned.
