I went upon Fatiegue upon the Jersie side. Lieuts Hudson, Church, & Myself were the officers from our Regt. We worked upon a small Fort; the Men in General worked well. Had some disagreement with the Engineers assistant about detaining us too long, as the Men would not work after 5 o'clock, as we had to row across the River home. However, we tarried till six o'clock, tho we did no work after 5. The Men behaved well to the officers. I enjoy myself well on the recovery of my Health.
