lucianusMonday 20. December
Still very cold and snowing again when we arose and I and my troop armed and mounted and out about the countryside to find provender for us and our mounts and so we rode up almost to Bearinten, a way perhaps not so much taken by others of ours and so we found it better provided than to the east and thus we carried back to our quarter two carts of the which one was laden with corn for our bread and 3 hogshead of cider and the other with provender for our mounts, 5 kine, 10 swine and 20 muttons, arriving after dark and we watching very carefully for the enemy but I think the weather has kept him close to home; but even the husbandman from whom we had the carts and corn did remark on the rumors of Parma coming to Dieppe the which he did hear at the market three days past and that they work night and day at the strengthening of their defences.
They have been having pretty poor weather the past few days but Luke’s troop ventures out to find some provisions in spite of the storm. Hunger is a great motivator! Coningsby reports on the rumors about Parma.
