Van Buren Oldham: June 4, 1864

Martin Van Buren Oldham.

I felt very unwell last night having fever and headache. The surg[eon] examined my lungs very closely yesterday but to my inquiry whether they were seriously affected he did not answer. I know one thing I am not the man I was once - only one year ago I was in much better health. I have expected that Miss Ellen Tutor would either visit the Hospital herself or send me some food. But I guess my appearance brought to memory unpleasant recollections and they were glad when I left. I am short of money except Greenbacks which is difficult to trade and I do not like to trade it anyway. I have had the most of my clothes washed. I saw today a body louse which appeared on one of the beds.

—Martin Van Buren Oldham, Company G, 9th Tennessee Infantry ("The Hickory Blues") (diary)

Tatsusei Yogi: June 4, 1945

Chiyo was exhausted and she wanted to return to Makabe, so we did. It started raining in the morning and continued raining heavily all day. A soldier told us to leave the area because heavy bombing was expected. So we went to the mountains.

—Tatsusei Yogi (diary) - Tatsusei Yogi was a Japanese civilian in Okinawa.
