8 Ос A M I went on the street to superintend about 150 men on fatigue duty making corduroy road from the fort to the levvy, we lacked teams, but done reasonably well, the injeneer or man that directed the cutting of the timber done a bad job by cutting it to short being much of it only 8 feet long & waggons bounce & slide off. I have been rather feeble but made no complaint, I did not eat a morsel of vituals this day not even a sup of tea or coffee, & early in the morning I vomited up what I ate last night for supper
