Started from camp at
Potomac Creek at six A.M., marched to the Rappahannock, and went into position
at United States Ford. The rebel earthworks could be plainly seen, on the
opposite banks of the river. The weather was pleasant. Marched fourteen miles.
Remained on picket at United States Ford until June 4.
