Diary of Private Charles H. Lynch: December 8, 1863

Marching orders received. Must prepare three days' rations in haversacks. Ordered to Charlestown for duty. We are informed the cavalry under General Averill are to raid upon the enemy's country. The General is a dashing cavalry officer. He is all right.
