Near Middletown and Meadow River.
Day of rest.
A Jewish Sutler from the fifth regiment Virginia who has his tent a little distance from here, about a gunshot from our regiment, was robbed in broad daylight.
He has a large tent in two partitions, where in the front part - for the buyers and at the same time barrels and boxes full of supplies were stored.
At the greatest rush the soldiers rolled quite a number of them out into the fields, opened and plundered them.
He supposedly lost several hundred dollars worth of stock. I buy from him three handkerchiefs and a hairbrush, for $1 - sugar 55 cents crackers with Lieutenant Hofferberth.
