May, Thursday 1, 1862

Woodsmill by Winchester

During the night, light rain.

I took Quinine with a little Opium and I sleep very well. I feel completely well in the morning. The sky is dim with a cool wind. Marching order for the First Brigade at one o'clock to Romney. I am writing a letter to Karbaum and am sending to him $5.00. To my wife with a letter via Michaelis $100.00.

Shortly before our departure shoes and stockings only for the most indigent arrive. Kalinowsky, Company C, is missing, apparently deserted without weapons. We are marching until about six o'clock, and halt in the pouring rain. For the night five grains of Quinine in Alcohol. I sleep well yet dream a lot.

Hoefer very ill.
