Balls Crossroad.
At noon Ordnance Sergeant Steckner who has been assigned by Washington to ordnance duty for the brigade arrives. He accompanies me to the regiments and later in the afternoon returns to Washington in order to take care of the requisitions.
Evening: Marching orders.
The regiments are to announce immediately through their adjutants when departing. Special orders: The muntion train shall have guards for protections.
Fanninger, sorter of the adjutance (sic), offers the usage of his horse to me, since he claims to be ill. I accept for feeding and generally taking care of the animal.
Great confusion since marchingorders (sic) arrived very unexpectedly. I pack my things and quite late, write the consolidated requisitions in three copies.
