Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Tuesday, September 10, 1861

After a march of about sixteen miles, our company (E) went into camp within three miles of Jamestown.

We are now marching over the same road and in the same direction that we did in August. The other two companies are coming on. I suppose that we were separated as a matter of convenience in procuring forage for our horses.
