Early on the march.
A hot dry morning. Passed on through Berryville, pushing south through open
lots and woods. Skirmishing on the extreme right, at Stony Point. A hot, hard,
day's march. Suffered very much for water. After marching about twenty miles,
late tonight came to a halt near a large spring. Many of the boys were obliged
to fall out. We are all very tired and about exhausted as we lie down for the
night.
