  All tents were finished in about 1 hour. First

  you Losen all ropes except one which is left

  for to hold the Tent Erect Then when everyone is

  ready at a note from the Bugler the last rope

  is loosened & then all the Tents drop together after

  every thing was packed we laid down to sleep

  under the stars. At about 11-o-clock it started to

  rain & before it had rained very long we were

  drenched to the skin never the less we fell asleep

  again & slept untill 5-o-clock when the Revielle

  blew & we knew we were on our las day on

  Manoevers.

  After a very hasty breakfast we had to pack

  the mules which I can assure anyone takes a

  bit of doing for novices but after a few of our

  men had been knocked over we managed to

  get them all finished & fell in about 8-o-clock

  ready to move away which we did about 8-30

  I can’t say very much about the journey as it

  was practically the same as on the outward
