Saturday, April 30.— Left camp about 9.15 A.M. and marched to Bealeton Station, where we took possession of the 4th Michigan camp. Met Monteith on the way up and Batchelder[1] at Bealeton Station. Went up to General Griffin’s headquarters and saw Barnard and Davis. Then saw Captain Martin and offered him $275 for his horse, which he would not take. Rained a little during the day. Were ready to form line at a minute’s notice. Last evening I received documents from War Department in reference to Brown of Philadelphia.[2]
[1] Both Monteith and Batchelder were with me on General Porter’s staff.
[2] The man whom we smashed up for selling liquor to the men.
