A cold, damp,
disagreeable morning. Passed the Point of Rocks early this morning. Saw that
the Potomac River was on a rampage owing to the recent heavy rains. On arrival
at Harper's Ferry formed in line for a march to Camp Hill, Bolivar Heights.
During our absence the 34th Massachusetts Regiment was ordered to take our
place, so took possession of our camp. We were forced to take quarters in old
buildings until camp could be located and tents put up. A large mail was
waiting for us. I received a number of letters.
