This day, as has been their wont of a Sunday, the garrison opened not the gate; I am told that Captain Acton is sick of the disease of the camp; I attended upon Sir R. W. this day in his riding out with the King to circle the town and examine the works; our cannon kept up a good play this day; we were returned to our lodgings I sent my man with a message to Captain St. Dennis to see if he would come to supper and so came he and his lieutenant and they with St. John, Thoreaux and several other sat down with me to some good mutton and much good cider and merriment; it being late St. John lay with me this night.
Today is slower day at the siege. Coningsby hasn’t too much to report, the gates didn’t open and the all day cannon fire but not too much else. The riding out and the dinner are both made up but in the spirit of Coningsby.
