In the Morning while washing in the brook three of the Maryland soldiers who are loafing around on the opposite shore close by the city shoot off their guns and two balls?* Bullets strike next to us. Nachtmann brings a pointed cannonball shell?* filled with grenades from the city. Many of the same are found here and there in deserted houses. Aside from that pieces of leaved branches and trees on fields give indication of delivered battles. Many houses are destroyed. The inhabitants relate from the Rebels whom General Jackson told to take all the good horses. I and Lieutenant Dietz buy ourselves pressed shoulderstraps for $2.25.
First Lieutenants.
*I believe the question marks to have been inserted in the sentences by the translator to indicate that she was not sure of the correct translation. They were not placed in brackets so it is impossible to be sure. SPS
