To-day our division
made a "recognizance in force." Marched to Prospect Hill, on the
river turnpike, about four miles, and after settling into bivouac two or three
times during the day, brought up about 11 o'clock at night at Lewinsville.
Having crawled into my ambulance to rest, I note this before dropping asleep.
