Tuesday 10th. Decr. 1811.
At 11 a.m. I inspected the Detachment of the 73d. Regt. stationed at Launceston and found them in good order. ---I afterwards proceeded to inspect the Men's Barracks and Hospital --; the former I did not find so clean as they ought to be, and the latter fortunately is empty, there being no sick either Military or Civil to occupy. ---I then visited the Public Stores, and Military & Civil Officers Barracks. ---The latter were clean & neatly kept, but the former in many respects, require improvement and better arrangement.---
I issued some Genl. Orders respecting the Inspection of the Troops, and directed Half a Pint of Spirits to be issued to each Soldier to drink the King's Health.
The Officers Civil & Military dined with us today.
