August, Monday 4, 1862

Sperryville, VA.

In the morning bath.

We receive renewed marching orders. I procure the requisitions for the De Kalb and eighth regiment. Only the latter, eighth regiments, seventy-five enfield rifles besides account momento is executed. For the other requisitions, reports to the Washington Arsenal are to be made first. Large distributions of clothing - tents and implements through the General Quarter Office.

Also the General Staff receives new tents. In the evening the wagons with a quartermaster from the brigade leave for Warrenton. The Gunsmith from the Blenkers regiment goes with them in order to take care of the requisition of seventy-five rifles.
