� 79 April 4. This morning I was aroused from sleep by Lt. Wead who surprised me by saying that orders had come for us to march and that the destination of our army corps had been changed. I was soon in the office and at work writing orders. An hour afterward I turned in again and was soon asleep. At seven I got up.
At ten oclock the brigade was formed. I sent home a basket of clothing by express, and in my carpet bag I put all that I am to carry except what will be on my person, my blankets, and overcoat. At eleven we were on the march for Alexandria there to take the cars. The march was hot and dusty.
