This is a very warm day indeed and we are preparing to move, as fast as possible. We have no transportation yet, and this is what puts us back.

We have a large number of troops here just now. Genl. Porter's division has come up. But although he rank Genl. Franklin, he will not take command of only his own division and the regulars. Thus Genl. Franklin will have two divisions placing I suppose Genl. Slocum in command of me.

They say the woods are very dense along the way that we shall have to take. Head has gone our to examine bridges that will probably have to be rebuilt.

I learn that Kearney's A.A.G.
