Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Lemuel A. Abbott: Tuesday, March 29, 1864

An order came last night for us to move camp to-morrow. We hope it may be countermanded. The ladies started for Vermont this morning. Colonel A. B. Jewett went with them as far as Washington. A part of the regiment started for picket at 9 a. m.; has rained hard since 11 a. m.
