Camp Ewing. —
Wet, cold. We hear of enemy back at Camp Lookout and rumors of, over New River.
On this road are many deserted homes — great Virginia taverns wasted. The
people are for the most part a helpless and harmless race. Some Massachusetts
people have come in and made pleasant homes. We are on a turnpike leading up
the Kanawha to White Sulphur Springs and so on to eastern Virginia.
