[from the diary of Eugene M. Cox of the Albemarle Border Guards]
8 A.M. Had an alarm last night, which proved false--slept well the balance of the night, were only interrupted for a while by one of the severest storms that we have had since in the service---it seems as though our tents would be level to the ground--however, they were well pitched and we were perfectly secure--morning dawned upon us and with it came rain which has just stopped--but the indications are that we shall have more. 9 P. M. Cleared off this fore noon and w had a find day--have been hourly expecting through the day to get orders to march and doubtless shall be aroused before morning--The whole of the forces of Genl. Wise & Floyd nw encamp here. Taps, etc.
