Jimmie has come and woke me up saying that we are to move. Get up and go to Major's tent. He says that orders are to move this morning "at 9oclock, with two days rations in our haversakcs."
Gen. Slocum was at our dress Parade yesterday and he also visited the other regiments. I saw him with his staff looking at the 27th N. Y. as they drilled. Where are we going? Col. Geary's success at Leesburg is significant in this connection. Either to join him at that place by rail or get in between the enemy and Manassas on that side.
Have been writing letter to L. and bro. Charles.
