Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Friday, October 18, 1861

After a march of about eight miles. our battalion bivouacked, still in rear of every thing.

The cavalry in advance, some of Branner's or Brazelton's men, had a skirmish with the enemy's picket about four miles beyond London on the road leading to Camp Wildcat, in which one of the enemy was killed and one captured.
