Fine morning, strong wind. Have nice wash & shave, change of clothes & general clean up. Sgnt FOULKES arrived on 30th rather a surprise as I didn’t know he was out here. He told me H.TAYLOR was out here at 3 days notice. Poor Harry. A draft of 164 arrived at 3.15 am.1st inst which disturbed my good nights sleep, can’t be helped.
