Moved whole division across the river by way of Long bridge and en-camped for the night on Georgetown heights on the road to Poolesville.
Our march was exceedingly interesting. It was about dusk when we passed through "Camp Franklin." Just before we reached Fort Albany we heard singing. Could see only bright camp lights beyond. The music was suggested and to my soul inspiring.
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise him all Creatures here below Praise him above ye heavenly hosts Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost."
It was a prayer meeting just breaking up.
