Does not have much to do to spend time, so he will write. Has been reading almost every day. Went down to the city of Worcester the other day and saw Simeon. Will go again tomorrow. "He is a man that appears to feel for the soldier, and he was very particular to ask if I had enough to eat." Slipped and fell while walking out of a store. Landed on his bad arm, and "felt a sickening sensation" for a few moments after, but it does not seem that the fall did any significant damage. Saw in the paper that some clerks in Northampton had stolen money from their employers. Written at Dale General Hospital
