Early on the march. Passed through Charlestown. Pushing on,
after a march of about six miles, came to a halt at Halltown. A line of battle
was soon formed under a hot fire from the enemy. Go right at work building
intrenchments made of logs and dirt. The strongest we were ever behind. Hot
skirmishing going on. Rain and darkness put a stop to the firing. Trying to get
sleep under arms, ready for an attack at night.
