April 27th, '63
Up every morning since
out at 3 o'clock.
At 2 P.M. we started
back toward Liberty, &
encamped within 2 1/2
miles of that place &
1 1/2 miles our former
camp.
A number of refugees
are with us on their
way north. the peo-
ple all along our line
of march say they are
in a very destitute, & some
in almost a starving
condition.
A shoemaker in Al-
exandria told me, -
showing a pair of shoes,
just such as are issued
by our Government for
$1.48, -- that he had
been offered $25 for
his shoes, & had re-fused it.
Most of Stokes'
cavalry was recruit-
ed in this part of
the Country.
