This day fair &
pleasant. I had the care of a 100 men to work in the King's Garden, which is
the finest garden I ever saw in my life, having at least 10 acres inclosed,
& mostly sowd & improud. This day one of our pretenders to a commission
was whipt a 100 lashes at post for disobeying orders & insolent language.1
