August, Friday 8, 1862

Morning: Until twelve o'clock picket duty.

Beautiful hilly countryside dotted with farms.

I visit the picket from Lieutenant Dros located in a Doctor's office where everything was offered medicine books etc. I find one in physiology and in chemistry.

Afternoon: Rest.

For the night ALARM, we are to march immediately, however remain until four-thirty o'clock in the morning.
