April, Wednesday 2, 1862

     Warrenton Junction

Morning:

We are hearing canon thunder.

An expedition under strong coverage is going to neighboring farms to sharpen their axes.

Company C is sending under Basson ninety - - - -

Major Semsey brings the report from General Blenker that the German Division will not come to Fremont.

Landmann is going to Hunters Chapel.

The Fiftyfifth Regiment arrives, likewise a large portion from General Banks Division, Ninth N.Y., Tenth Indiana, etc.

I receive an exemplar of the Warrington Flag.

Dreary weather, changing winds, rain threatening. During the night wind changes into Northwind, Stars bright, sky clear also following day.

A portion from Banks Division arrives, Nineteenth Regiment, N.Y., Sixteenth Indiana, etc.

These are better equipped with wagons, tents, etc.

Our bivouac again is in the old place.
