We have to turn out at daylight. Soon after rations, again
in line and marching. We are getting very ragged. Many are barefooted. Clothes
will wear out in this rough life. Pushing along. Marched over Bolivar Heights,
down through Harper's Ferry, over the Potomac River on the railroad bridge,
into Maryland, taking the river road along the canal through Sandy Hook,
camping near Knoxville. A mail received. Very tired tonight. It is thought we
have marched about fifteen miles. Detailed for picket.
