The weather is warm but a good breeze is blowing. Most of the boys are enjoying a swim in the bay. A detail is sent to Manila to load our clothes and stuff onto the lighters which arrived in the evening; but, everybody has a time getting his right stuff. I have lost several things but nothing valuable. Our regiment is patrolling the city and beach. The prisoners are policing our quarters and the streets in general.
