Report of Cadet Morgan. Absent from drill on May 12th [1863]

When I had come from the funeral of Genl. Paxton, the day being very warm, and having marched nearly 3 miles, I was taken with a very severe headache, which compelled me to take my bed and rendered me entirely unfit to attend to the above duty. At the time for sick call I reported to the surgeon and got some medicine.

Respectfully submitted,
By Cadet Morgan, P. H.

To Surgeon V. M. I.
