5^th A vary cold day we spent the forepart of the day
by the fireside at Br Bates, I read a book most through
entitled the life and Death of John Fletcher. We spent
the afternoon in visiting the town of Woolwich, which
was truly interesting to me. We first visited the
Artillary & Marin Barracks, passed through & had a view
of their Drill & parade ground which I should judge to
be a mile squair it is the largest I ever saw. As cold as it
was their was a number of companies on parade & were
drilling new recruits, we saw many hundred cannon one
that measured 16 feet in length 3 1/2 diameter at the brich
& 2 at the mouth, we saw one horse company exercising.
We saw two soldiers buried under arms, the coffins
were let down into the grave side by side about an ounce of
dirt sprinkled upon them the Priest read the funeral
Prayers & Ceremony. A company of soldiers then fired three
rounds over their grave & retired. We next visited the Dock
& Prision yard, which is considerd one of the most interesting
Dock yards in the world. On passing through the gate in-
to the yard we entered our names & residence on book, was
then conducted by Mr John Finsbury Policeman to all parts
& branches of business in the yard. The government had in
their employ in this yard many hundreds of men besides
700 Prisioners who are ingaged in building Vessels steem boats
