Up fairly early Spend morning in prepairding my lecture on "checking up Rigging". Lecture at 2 P.M. Not too great a success but made me better acquainted with the men. 

After the lecture played in another game with the 139th. Very interesting game we made seven runs in one inning and just snatched the game from them 11-9 If Montgomery had stayed in the box for them I fear we would have lost. 

Word came that we leave for Issoudun Friday morning  Met Darwin & played Billiards with him. Hoskins also ran with us in a game.
