July, Saturday 26, 1862

Sperryville, Virginia

The regiment is marching at four o'clock in the morning.

I remain behind and am assigned to my place in the tent of the Provost Marshal Captain Syrinz - in the headquarters across from General Sigel's main quarters. I find in Captain Syrinz a friendly conversable (sic) young man who originally was a merchant, participated in the Schleswig Holstein War and last conducted in New York a horse and cow harem business.
