Petersburg.
I have leaning towards diarrhea. Lieutenant Dietz and I buy another bottle of red wine. I have the opportunity to give the negro boy Arthur to Schaefer who can, since he knows all about horses better occupy his time. Arthur was very happy to hear that he will be around horses. He had very little foothold in our company, on the contrary, some did not want him if he were green. - The boy at all times was very willing. - The mail arrives, I receive three letters at the time, sent in the middle of the preceding month. One from home, one from Philipp, one from Columbus.
Heinrich notifies me of Karl's wounding at the Pittsburg landing. R. Com. tells that by New Creek a number of letters sent to the German Division were found opened in the water, about sixty of them.
Fremont Reports.
DeLayer remains behind ill.
We receive bean soup for the mail (sic, meal?) at noon.
Coffee in the afternoon.
March about four o'clock. We are crossing the river via ferry and rest on the opposite shore. I am looking over the Ohio Regiment which is resting alongside of us, but do not find any acquaintances.
Night twelve o'clock, meat and beans, are supposed to be cooked during the night.
Morning: Four o'clock march.
I receive a pair of regimental shoes in which I march very well.
