Mount Jackson
In the morning I pay the money to Company C.
Everything is correct with the exception of Feierabend's salary, he had not signed the list since he is in the hospital in Romney. However Major Johnson pays it in the afternoon.
Marching Orders.
We have to put the officer's baggage into the wagon. I mail Hoefer's letter. Kistner and Zoeller II descriptive list. Both hope to be discharged. I receive a pair of regimental shoes from the quartermaster. Likewise a new rubber cover $2 - . The same are given to privates by the government for tent covers so it is questionable if officers have to pay for them.
Order: To be ready four o'clock in the morning for march. I finish my letter to Hoefer and send it to him with the enclosures from his father-in-law.
During the night marching orders are changed to five-fifteen o'clock.
We receive three rations of crackers.
I am writing a second letter to Hoefer however don't send it off as I will send it from Strassburg. I pay to Landmann for Company C $9.65 - for bread and beer, as part payment for my board starting from the first of May.
