1861 October 3

[from the diary of Eugene M. Cox of the Albemarle Border Guard]

9 P.M. Had clouds and some rain this morning, but it soon cleared off and we had a very fine day--Nothing worth noting has occurred to-day--To-night we have orders rise by 4 o'clock, cook one days rations, strike tents and inspect arms, preparatory to some move, we know not what. Our forces are all in fine spirits.....

MSS 38-221
