August, Saturday 16, 1862

By Cedar Mountain.

Cool sunny autumn weather.

A recruiting party, according to a General order by General Pope, consisting of a commissioned officer and one man or a non commissioned officer from every company shall go to New York tomorrow. Adjutant Michaelis and Horstmann and from Company C: Siebert are, among others, appointed for this purpose.

In the evening six o'clock: Regimental inspection through Lieutenant Colonel Wratislaw. Because General Stahl has returned Colonel Amsberg takes over the command of our regiment.

Reports of our departure and paymaster are without foundation, however new muster rolls are being prepared for since the last ones were sent in, many sick etc. have rejoined the regiment.

Strictest orders against all marauding. General Pope declares that his former order was either misunderstood or deliberately misunderstood.
