Following the American Civil War Sesquicentennial with day by day writings of the time, currently 1863.

Tuesday, April 19th.

Sent the body of Private Hastings to Washington in charge of Corpl. Foster for embalmment, after much difficulty in securing a coffin and transportation at Culpepper. Capt. Jones with his company, D, was to-day detailed as a guard for the ammunition train of our Artillery Brigade, which leaves three companies of our Battalion still to be disposed of, and Lieut. Edmonston was detailed as a member of a Brigade Court Martial.
