[from the diary of Wesley Hammond of the Dixie Greys, Co. E of the 42nd Virginia]
This morning take a view of the
Yankees Camp – read 5 chapters
in bible – Inspection of arms –
[four words lined through]
Hear 5,000 troops leave Mead –
bluff to get in the rear of Yankees
Received orders from Gen. Lee to
be ready by daylight to march
on the Yankees and send our
baggage to Lewisburg
