Paris
Rest on the Shenandoah Hill.
We cannot pass the river right in front of us for the current is too strong, and experimenting with building a bridge failed.
The German engineering comes to a considerable falter. In the morning the weather is piercingly cold, towards noon a little warmer. Now rafts and floats are built and after several attempts this too has to be given up. Inspite of it we are transported across by boat, only very slowly.
The night is cold.
A part of our Company on a neighboring hill in the forest are in very comfortable huts. whilst Brigade Stahl passes on the wet (West?) hill, on camp watch and pickets.
Rain is threatening for the night, yet we come through it tolerably.
Kistner and Feihner return.
In the afternoon Landmann arrives.
I take tickets for $3 and get for Nachtmann 1 1/4 plum brandy.
