On yesterday evening
we received orders to cook three days rations and be ready to march today at
daylight. We were up late at night cooking and left this morning early, wading
the Rapidan at
Raccoon Ford. We are
now, 2 o'clock p. m., one mile from Culpepper Court House, having marched
fifteen miles this morning
