[from the diary of Eugene M. Cox of the Albemarle Border Guards]
9 A.M. Had no alarm last night--5 P. M. To-day we were ordered to move further back up the mountain to a better position which we now occupy--have a very disagreeable place for camp ground on a steep hill side--are now short of salt, and sugar, things very necessary to our comfort and which will be very hard to get as but little of those articles are in the eastern market--our supply being now cut off from the "Kanawha Valley."
9 P. M. All quiet--Taps, etc.
MSS 38-211
