last day of 1862 was
cool and cloudy and our Regiment had muster inspection in the day and at nite
our Company had to go on picket gard down the bank of the Rapahanok River whar
we was in about a hundred yards of the Yankees pickets they was on one side of
the river and we was on the other we was in talken distence but our officer
would not alow ous to talk they would cum down on the bank and hollow to ous
and say if we would bring the boat over that they would come over on our side
and have a talk. So that was the last of our works for the year 1862.
