We started at 7 o'clock this morning and dragging along
slowly with our heavy trains, went into bivouac when we reached Somerville at 3
o'clock. Most of our road was over very rough country and besides we had to
wade one river, the bridges being gone. Somerville is a mere village with a
courthouse, a few stores and about twenty dwellings.
