STEPHEN JONES, PROP. Victoria, B.C.
facing left & in good order with guides in proper place & much to his delight & real pleasure I did it in the most correct maner with only one mistake of left turn instead of right which I corrected in his own by ordering platoon will retire, about turn & when they had got to the right place ordered half & another about turn made them dress by the right ordered stand at ease stand easy & then said to the S.M. all present correct which 3 words seem to be much used & when ever used it seems to be all O.K.
We have a dirty little canker spot in our platoon Holmes & Kit Carson & two other U.S. men are not with us except in body & have done much to retard our drill improvement & esprit de corps which I can see is absolutly necessary to get on quickly. The last batch from Cariboo have got us skined all to pieces on drill now & yesterday
