Oct. 11th, '62

Cloudy, windy &
cold. Overcoats
prove valuable this
morning. Battery mov-
ed up about 200 yds.,
& our Reg't. placed in
position on the left,
& in a line with, to
support it.
Our battery is ^'said' to be
one of the best in
the service. Did
good execution in
recent battle.
Feel quite unwell
this morning.
Country around &
before us most beau-
tiful; gently undu-
lating & well wooded.
Better water than in the
country over which
we have been passing
in the last 4 or 5 days.
Constant firing of
pickets; a fight prob-
ably imminent.
Remained in the same
position until about
twilight, when we
moved back to the
woods, -- the place we
left in the morning.
All quiet during
the early part of
the night
