Sperryville, Virginia
I report to Captain Dahlgreen (sic) Chief of Ordnance First Army Corps Virginia.
A friendly young man from whom, for the time being, I receive several preliminary businesslike instructions.
Pierz arrived from New York but has no letters for me. Letter from Nathusius. Major Dobke is very happy to receive letters and news of an inheritance bequeathing five-thousand dollars to him. He gives three cases of champagne to celebrate, which creates a great disturbance in the heads of many of our officers, consequently the following dressparade (sic) conducted by Dobke turns into a completely scandalous scene.
In the evening marching order for the forty-fifth regiment to the Madison Outpost. I receive orders to remain behind at the brigade headquarters.
