March to Petersburg.
We arrive in the evening at seven-thirty o'clock at the place of our bivouac.
Our wagons have not arrived as yet.
We have a cold night.
Since my buffalo hide is absent I get very little sleep by the watchfire.
In the morning the much needed missing shoes and stockings are being distributed, also caps.
Burlington.
Brish march in terrific heat.
We accomplish about eighteen miles.
The company has completely dissolved so when we do arrive at our halting place about twelve miles short of Petersburg, an average of only about twelve to fifteen men from every company are present.
Lieutenant Colonel Wratislaw orders that all who do not at least arrive by nightfall shall be removed and prosecuted.
From Company C the missing are: Kistner, Lange, Wein, Feihner, DeLeyer. The latter was very ill.
Fitzke, Bruck and Feihner who had been ordered to the Winchester wagons, arrive here in a state of almost total exhaustion.
Williamsport.
