We played the the [sic] odd numbers yesterday and beat them by an innings and 46 runs, Mr Hiche Apear played we had a master called Mr Rudra playing so we beat them, and we lost against the military we would have beaten them if this master had played but the rector would not alow [sic] him. Mr [deleted] Ru [/deleted] Coombes came back in time for the match. The days are going very fast. quickly.
