We have had orders
several times for the last six days to march, and a part of our brigade has had
a fight. But this morning we took up our march at 5 o'clock. I saw Gen. D. H.
Hill on the road and spoke to him, as well as his adjutant. They are friends
from home and comrades of our first North Carolina regiment. We marched twenty
miles and halted for the night—laid in line of battle all night with arms by
our side.
