Breakfast at a house near camp. Went over and saw Lt. Cole,
a division Q. M. Went to the Ferry, drew forage for animals. 2nd Ohio was on
picket last night, deployed as skirmishers, 2 miles west of Charlestown. At daylight
attacked by the rebels. Capt. Denning, the brave man, and Henry Drake, the noble
and true soldier, mortally wounded, poor men. All forces fell back. Went out
with forage in P. M. I feel it almost a duty to return to some of the dangers of
the officers of the line.
