Near Cedar Creek. Took account of stock this morning. A
requisition goes to the quartermaster for a supply of clothes, rubber blankets,
shelter tents. Much of our luggage gets lost on the march and in battle.
Captain Wm. L. Spaulding, Co. B, killed at Newmarket. Body brought along by
members of his company. Buried today near Cedar Creek, with military honors,
the regiment taking part. It is intended to send the body home later. I expect
to sleep tonight in an army wagon, near camp.
