I was aroused early this morning by Major Dillingham, who
said the army had moved at daylight. I engaged a hack and went up to camp, but
found everything as we left it. We marched at 9 o'clock a. m. for Rockville;
passed through the town just before dark and camped for the night about two
miles out on the Rockville road. I have called on the Henning, Higgins and Dr.
Stonestreet families; enjoyed the visits greatly. These families were very kind
to me in the winter of 1862-63 when ill with typhoid fever; splendid people.
General Crook's back on the Maryland side of the Potomac again and Early's
forces are raiding the country again, too.
