Wed. Aug. 1st

Fair in A.M. Rained in P.M. hard and had to quit early and come in. I got ahead of my two hombres and got lost; thought I never would find camp; these Filipino paths seem to all go in when it rains. Roberts came from Cadiz at night with mail. Got a letter from Boston. A telegram came from Beard appointing me topographer and ordering me to report to Hogue on Puay but Farnnham is going to keep me here. Everybody is sick in Hogue's party except the transitman.
