May, Tuesday 20, 1862

Still no rations, neither was there coffee for the company. For the noon day meal we receive hominy however the meat was so late that it was impossible to be ready by one o'clock. 

At one o'clock inspection drill.

Review by General Fremont, raining lightly. The men are very hard to persuade to appear for line up. Company C makes its appearance only fifteen one half file strong. Some disappeared, others are ill. The missing are to be brought up for Court Martial. When we return towards four o'clock Landsmann with his supply wagon had arrived. He had one hundred and twenty loaves of bread and other stock. Our company receives nine loaves of bread. Excellent dark bread, one loaf for five men.


During the night torrential rain.
