[from the diary of Z. Lee Gilmer, Sgt. Co. B, 19th Virginia (Albemarle Rifles)]
The ground is just
covered with snow &
quite cold. We have orders
keep on hand a days rato-
ns[sic] cooked & prepared for
marching. The suposition
is that we will go to
Ocaquon if we do
march, for it is said the
Yankee fleet is in the
Potomac. There is no
dainger of our going.
