Washington.
Morning: Delivery of articles to the arsenal. The quartermaster again cannot be located to deliver the wagons, finally about three-four o'clock he is found by the wagonmaster.
In the evening I meet friend Kallenberg from the fiftysecond regiment whose wife and children are now with him. By Engelhard and Unger interesting acquaintance of a former Prussian soldier who also was in the service (Austria) and participated in the Beleaguering of Vienna.
Endless hardships of the regiments under General Sumner and General Mac Clellan by Richmond. Lack of transportation. Just like us. For all privations. The fiftysecond regiment counts hardly one hundred and fifty men.
