This morning the
dismounted portion of the regiment receives orders to report to regimental
headquarters to be mounted. Oh! how welcome the news, notwithstanding we do
find the stock and the riding material somewhat on the decline; but anything to
ride is the word that goes forth now from Company H and the new companies.
Tonight, for the first time since we crossed the Ocmulgee river, November 19th,
1864, the Seventh Regiment is all together in camp.
