On the morning of the eighteenth my friend and classmate
Lazear, whom in spite of our short intercourse I had learned to
respect and in every way appreciate most highly, complained
that he was feeling 'out of sorts.' He remained all day about
the officers" quarters and that night suffered a moderate
chill. I saw him the next day with all the signs of a severe
attack of yellow fever.
