Expecting invasion at any moment but hope to be out of the Castle by Spring. Two detachments - one at Western Heights and the other at St. Margarets Bay. Has given his servant notice. Their mess is very wet so they have pitched a tent in the Castle so that they may dine in comfort. The officers have subscribed their last month's pay to buy flannel waistcoats for the men.
