Wrote letters in Butler's tent which remained behind, as all the other things went on abt 10 o/c. At 1 pm after despatching the letters we marched & I plane tabled into camp the remainder of the boundary. A dull cloudy day & during the night a little rain fell, which cleared the atmosphere a little.
