March, Sunday 2, 1862

Clarsville

Burning of Bancrofts Sawmill

Beautiful weather.

Report of Schoenecker's resignation.

Mueller and Nachtmann arrived from camp.

I am sending the squirrel pelts to my wife by mail.

Evening: On duty (Watch)

Two pickets by the Customhouse near Bancrofts farm and the other bridge close by.

Lange from the last picket drunk, was bound and arrested. Resists, delirious. I and four other men go out to get him. I am successful only after a bucket full of cold water and several cold showers.
