This is the first Time I did Duty since my late indisposition from which, thro the Goodness of God, I have almost perfectly recovered, excepting a lameness from a very bad Boil under my left Ham. I mounted Piquet, unable to do other Duty. The Men complain of hard Duty, a thing not uncommon in Armies. The Duty is very constant, tho not hard.
