November 20 1773

The blasted recruitment officer put me in the stinkin filthy infantry! shoot 'im.
I'm in the 8Th regiment of Scouts, my commanding officer is a dandy Brit from a wealthy family in Sunderland: Captain Arthur Wuster of the 8Th Regiment of Scouts. William Onner called him a dandy Brit to his face, and got twenty lashes for his troubles.
I'm being shipped out on the 28th.
