Halls Hill.
March to Halls Hill, General Sigel's headquarters. We have a gorgeous view upon Washington. The first night we camp in a magnificent oakforest, close by an open field where our wagons are located. We eat and drink thoroughly and administer to ourselves while enjoying this beautiful weather. Bluehmel, Company C, has fried an excellent beefsteak for us and so on. In the evening Hoefer and I visit Pierz and we drink with Schaefer.
The Chief and his wife arrive. The Chief appointed Schaefer to Brevet Lieutenant and he is very friendly, especially towards me, from whom he wants enlightenment about conditions of our regiment.
(Lack of discipline etc.)
He told us that during the battle, he was commanded as Field Officer on General Sigel's staff, which was disputed by others.
