March 21. — General Woodbury started for Washington this morning, and General Benham issued General Orders No. 1, announcing his staff. For the present I am acting as adjutant-general. Did not move from headquarters to-day on account of the storm. Saw General Williams[1] about adjutants-general, and found that there were two unassigned, Captain Williams and Captain Wood.
[1] General Seth Williams; he was the bearer of the letters between General Grant and General Lee at Appomattox.
