June, Friday 27, 1862

Camp near Middletown.

Weather - warm.

Report of Weber's, Company C, death. He died from nerve fever in the New Creek Hospital. May nineteenth 1862. Froelich the medical attendant told us that he attended the burial and also put a name plate on the grave. The medical director of the hospital was Doctor Mac Mahon.

Our monies with Major Dobke and Adjutant Michaelis are leaving for Winchester. Many soldiers have started to peddle sutler articles and some have a nice income on the side $5 - $6 - per day. The sutlers now appear in great numbers and we hope it will reduce prices.

Afternoon: I am appointed officer of the guard including of the day. One sergeant, two corporals, eighteen men and three assigned wagons.
