September, Wednesday 3, 1862

Lewinsville across Georgetown.

Here is where we bivouac for several hours behind General Sigel's headquarters. (Tavern)

The surrounding countryside supplies a lot of apples, peaches etc. for the soldiers, however a strong tendency to plunder other belongings again is shown by some.

In the afternoon of the third, the brigade moves in a southern direction to a sort of outpost duty.

Southern direction of Lewinsville.
