We received marching orders this morning. The long roll beat
at one in the night. We marched four miles on to Richmond, where we met some
wounded of our army that had been injured at the Point of Rocks. We got to this
place after marching all night, too late for the Yanks—they had gone. We stayed
here until the 28th, then marched to Drewry's Bluff, twenty miles from
Petersburg.
