Camp Hill, Bolivar Heights, near Harper's Ferry. Broke camp.
I am detailed to go by train with regimental baggage, to load and unload and
also to guard it. The regiment on the march. By noontime we had the baggage
loaded and the train under way, which makes a good run. On arrival baggage was
unloaded. Put up tent near railroad station. Must wait for the regiment. Called
on the German people who did my washing and mending whenever we were in this
vicinity. Mrs. Shults invited me to remain and have supper with the family.
Such invitations did not come very often, but I accepted and enjoyed it.
