To-day we expected to rest at least and made arrangements accordingly,
but as the Company were on their horses to go to water, the orders came to
march at 10 A. M., so we were obliged to water our horses double quick, and
hitched up in all haste. Retraced our track the day before, arrived at
Germantown by sundown, but pushed on six leaving the train of hard-tack to take
care of itself. The train Went to bed 11 P. M.
