1862 April 24 Camp on Prince's Farm near Raleigh, Va.

[from the diary of Charles Hay of the 23rd Ohio]                                 

     Camp on Prince’s Farm, April 24^th.

     This morning, the weather appeared to be

move favorable than for several days previous,

and our projected march was put in

execution, to the infinite joy of all of us,

 to whom appeared dancing visions of

fair weather, & good localities & camps.

We marched three miles & camped.
