This morning the
Pennsylvania boys are packing up to leave, they having received marching
orders. Ordered to New Creek, West Virginia. Our boys lined up, bid them good
bye, good luck, with hearty cheers. These regiments, the 3d and 4th were known
as the reserves and the Buck Tails, they having seen hard service. We found
them a good lot of boys, and visited back and forth very much while they were
in camp near us.
