Tuesday 7. December
This day, I fancy owing to their bloodying yesterday, the enemy sought no engagements and I lay somewhat long abed and then a while past dinner I and St. John rode out to a tavern not too far off to have some food and the merry company of they that served it and so rather later and much refreshed back came we to camp where we hear of the death of poor Acton who had been sick of the ague these past few days, after our fine day it doth make me right sad for he was a brave soldier and fine companion and ever unlucky at cards.
Coningsby has little to report today save for the death of Sir Richard Acton whom he calls his cousin.
