B. Sub tip top. Though the responsibility is now over, I feel the reaction of the old Sub. However, in a few days I will be fit and the neuralgia will disappear. Stables and exercising horses as usual. Still wet---slush, spongy and sloppy everywhere. Boots wet through.

Monday, 17.
Wet and sloppy underground and still raining. The humpies are damnably stuffy and evil smelling. Each day in spite of the weather we exercise the horses. I am to take Horse Picquet tonight and sleep in the saddlery barn. It is a cruel night. Hay nets to be untied filled, tied on again and then untied again.
