educator, Professor James Mercer Garnett, Ll. D.] November 30th, 1864. Private Diary from August 5th to November 30th, ‘64, covering time from last trip across Potomac to return of ordnance trains to camp near Staunton, about two miles out on Waynesboroa road. Troops still at New Market, but expect them back soon, and think we will go into winter-quarters between Staunton or Waynesboroa and Port Republic, unless Mars Robert wants us down at Richmond.

Moved from there to this point (15 or 16 miles) yesterday, and now about to start on my fourth trip across the Potomac.

Finished my Property Return day before yesterday, and my Armament and Ammunition Report for July 31st yesterday evening and sent
