Woodsmill, Bivouac By Winchester

Weather doubtful, changing winds.

Captain Hoefer and Nachtmann are going to Winchester to buy Summer trousers and such. They find a fullblooded Secessionist nest about twenty thousand inhabitants, where one cannot get anything for neither money nor kind words. A miserable hatchet 1 1/2 etc. bread cheap one loaf ten cents etc. The Proclamation from the Chief of the Provisionguard One Hundred Tenth Regiment P. V. alongside of the Proclamation from the Commander of the Homeguard.

We have fresh beef, rice and a half ration of crackers.

The number of sick i our Regiment is increasing.
