We got away from the
open field at 12 M., and went two miles out of town, and camped in the woods.
We met the Bethel regiment to-day. I met quite a number of old friends and
comrades of my old company. We compared notes on soldiering. We came to the
conclusion that at Yorktown we were playing soldier, but now there is no play
in it. We are expecting a fight every hour.
