Franklin - Petersburg
Morning: About six o'clock marching on, until five o'clock in the evening to Petersburg. At noon our packs were put onto the wagons. It is a brisk march however on good roads.
One ambulance horse falls.
In Petersburg we meet Lieutenant Grassau who has returned from Romney reports that Hoefer is very ill indeed and has almost completely lost his hearing. He also took a six week leave to go to New York.
Bivouac by Petersburg.
For our evening meal meat, that is very much needed.
Mueller slightly tipsy has a quarrel with Schaefer about the meat.
Dietz is getting very ill during the night. Dreadful stomach ache which after hot applications finally subside.
Feierabend from Company C who was ill in Romney returns to us. Packs from Washington and Fairfax arrived and are either to be collected or discarded, twenty-five of them. Heintz's is among them. Sergeant Krieger transfers same, of which I want blankets.
