Remained in our bivouac until near six o'clock, when we were ordered to “pack up” and “fall in.” Rev. Dr. William Brown, of Richmond, preached to us at four o'clock. Shortly after his sermon concluded, we marched about two miles towards the right of our line, and halted in an old field, near an old Yankee camp, occupied by some of McClellan's troops before his memorable [372] “change of base” in 1862. There we slept until near three o'clock next morning, when we were hurriedly aroused, but, as we soon found out, needlessly. I read through-or rather finished reading — the New Testament to-day, and re-commenced it, beginning with Matthew.


Richmond, VA. 1876.
