Stirred not from here all the day; word comes that yesterday some of our horse, while about the countryside, did make very good profit and returned with upwards to three score kine, swine and muttons, some of the kine whereof I hope I might dine upon in three days time; I hear tell today that upwards to thirty of the Rouen garrison were slain yesterday in the fight to but two of ours.
A slow day in camp today. Kine is an obsolete word for cattle. The facts here are drawn from Coningsby.
