[from the diary of Eugene M. Cox of the Albemarle Border Guards]
9 P.M. To-day we got orders to march East, and half of our regiment started at 3 P.M. We (the rest of the regiment) are to follow on in the morning--This order is the occasion of a general rejoicing with us--all are as merry as larks--Must rise in the morning at 3 o'clock to prepare to bid adieu to camp "Defiance" and "Big Sewell"
