Arrived in camp at 5:00 finding Fox
his cook, collector, 2 private collectors, 1 sergeant,
5 soldiers, 2 corporals all well and apparently
happy. They seemed to be a little
uncomfortable because of the cold
but I hope they will soon get over that.
The camp is in good order. This is
soldiers and convicts barracks, fly with
wind sheltered in for exl dyad collectors,
pergereration tent, sleeping tent, stor
tent, Road and RA tent, Ford tent, and
frames and store for kitchen, cooks tent,
and Brown and my tent. With bar constructed
between the buildings so that we can move
about without getting our feet wet foot.
Chapel is being made; drawing studios constructed,
WC, etc. In short it is a very well
built camp.
