Transcription: Today I was outdoors for the first time in a long time. Prof. N. did not call today, he is probably [absent] from the City. Dr. Munson called and brought me a letter from Mother, how much I wish to see her and I hope to soon. Shoulder quite sore. Today Dr Mursich came [around] taking names for a transfer to N.Y. City. I told him of Prof. N being here and asked him to get me a furlough instead which he kindly consented to do. Prof. N. [called also] Mrs. H [illegible] and Mr. Bielem. ------------------------------ May 27, Friday. Today I was out doors for the first time in a long time. Prof. N. Did not call today, he is probably absent from the city. Dr. Munson called and brought me a letter from my mother. How much I wish to see her and I hope to soon. Shoulder is quite sore. May 28, Saturday. Today Dr.Mursick came around, taking names for a transfer to N.Y. City. I told him of Prof. N. being here and asked him to get me a furlough instead which he kindly consented to do. Prof. N. called also Mr. H.H. Sperry [12.] and Mr. Bidem. Note: 12. Henry H. Sperry (1819-1897) was an executive member of the Monroe County Soldiers Relief Association. George Andrew Mursick (1834-1895) was Assistant Surgeon U.S.V and a graduate of the NY College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1857. For Mr. Bidem or Loder no record could be found –the name is a best guess since in spots the diary is quite difficult to decipher.
