Called up very early this morning after a quiet night. We
are about four miles south of Charlestown. Heavy cannonading in the direction
of Winchester, which lies about ten miles southwest of Charlestown. All is
quiet with us as we rest and sleep. Rations are good and plenty. Consist of
hardtack, pork, coffee, sugar. Report reaches us that our boys are in
possession of Winchester. Weather fine. Taking life easy in these woods.
