CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VA.,
January 15, 1863.
To-day I have taken a long ride up the river, looking out
for suitable crossing places. I could plainly see the enemy's pickets and their
camps, and I think it will be very hard to find any place where they are not on
the qui-vive and looking out for us. On my return I met the
pontoon-train going up the river, which is significant, though I did not find
in camp any orders, as I expected.
