August, Tuesday 5, 1862

Sperryville, VA.

Lieutenant Wiegand returns from the regiment to pursue his resignation.

I have a terrible attack of stomach ache combined with diarrhea, however I feel better after the enjoyment of a cup of tea. Captain Syrinz tells of his war experiences in Schleswig Holstein under Major Schwarz. The forty-fifth regiment under the supreme command of General Clusuret occupied Madison and there requisitioned in regular manner food, horses, cattle etc. About four to six men from the forty-fifth regiment who, on their own cuff, requisitioned, were by our General taken prisoners and delivered to the prison here.
