New Market - Mount Jackson
In the morning bath in a pond.
March: Departure eight o'clock.
Arrival in Mount Jackson about twelve o'clock.
We are supposed to camp here for an extended time in order to get equipt, and it is said to reorganize the German Divisions. Wachter and Steinlein who carried Lieutenant Grahaan to Harrisonburg describe his condition as hopeless, likewise the position of the seriously wounded, since the return of the Rebels is expected, consequently Doctors and male nurses would leave them completely on their own.
Pirty arrived from New York with Sutler articles. I buy bacon and chocolate from him for $3 so that I now owe him in all including my sash $10 Hofferberth 1 1/4 deb. Horstmann deb. $3.85. I had an enormous appetite yesterday and today, I ate a lot was completely starved, yet it agreed with me.
In the evening Pirty returns to New York. I gave him a few lines for my wife.
Report that enemy cavalry (Ashbergs) molested our stragglers. One mounted rifles killed. A young man from the Blenkers told me the specific proceedings of the battle from 8/6 (eighth of June) in their regiment, whereupon the entire blame for the defeat rests on Chief Wussel? Wuschel? Who was TIPSY. Wuschel?*
