Harrisonburg.
Morning: We are awakened at three o'clock and we are scheduled to depart at five o'clock.
March at six-thirty o'clock.
Weather: Very sultry the sky is cloudy.
Our march this time is exceptionally difficult etc.
Short rest. I suffen an attack of diarrhea, on account of the fat diet without baking. (bread crackers.)
We are in the rearguard of the brigade.
Bucktails and De Kalb in the vanguard.
Noon: Arrival in Harrisonburg.
The second division Company H and Company C under Captain Spangenberg are being ordered to cover the Schirmer battery on the left wingspread. Milk, cream, bacon etc. etc. Abundant. I buy one-half of a loaf of bread for twenty-five cents.
About five o'clock our advance is attacked by the enemy.
Five Bucktails from one-hundred and twenty supposedly were mowed down, forty wounded. We are expecting a battle by early morning. I feel better.
