lucianusFriday 31. December
This day attending upon Sir R. W. and rode we out to several places to examine the defenses and speak with the captains, but how sad it was to see so many of the men so ill clad with only the garments they had when we were first come into France, if those, and their doublets ragged, their hosen torn and their shoon full of holes but for all these woes, the men were cheerful and keen to be at the enemy; towards evening we returned to our quarters and I supping with Sir R. W. and several others and what a pleasant evening spent with cider and many songs and I sang some the which were quite cried up and so home to my bed and in such a fine humor.
Valdory has very little to say today so I have sent Luke on a walkabout with Sir Roger Williams. Coningsby in his journal in December mentions the poor state of the men’s clothing.
