Mustered for three
months' pay. Started from Myersville at ten A.M. Marched to Hanover, and went
into camp at half-past four, where we saw a lot of dead horses. There had been
a cavalry fight. Marched ten miles. Started again at half-past seven, and marched
to within three miles of Gettysburg, Penn., and went into camp at twelve
o'clock at night. Heard cannonading all day.
