September, Sunday 14, 1862

Balls Crossroad.

Day of rest.

Busy with generalities in settling. Towards noon I receive information from quartermaster Rocke that he still has seven loads of munitions in his charge which he wishes to deliver. Consequently I go to General Sigel's headquarters in the evening to obtain orders from the Chief of Ordnance.

In the meantime Captain Shirmer was appointed Chief of Ordnance in place of Captain Dalgreen, I shall be notified tomorrow. It was dark upon returning and I was compelled by the pickets to get the countersign from General Pyatt (?)

After I had proven my identity.

"PHARSALIA"

Moreover I missed my road.
