May 3
At last the order of march, for to-morrow at 5 A.m.! Of it
more when it is over — if I am here to write. Only spring waggons go for our
little mess kits and baggage; other things go with the main train. May God
bless the undertaking at last and give an end to this war! I have made all
preparations for the campaign.
