Fine & no papers, so I return to the Bde.

Lady Perley called with two nurses. I took them along with me and they had tea at Bde. H.Q. and returned Bouloigne in the evening. I find my papers are back from the Corps. asking for some trivial information just ten days since they were first sent to the Division. If private individuals ran their business like that what success would they make. Called on Col. Hesketh L.S.H. and asked him if he would again consider my coming back to the Regiment. He said he would consult the officers and advise me tomorrow. I have not much hope as it would of course interfere with some of their promotions.
