1862 July 18 near Warrenton, Va.

[from the diary of Ephraim A. Wood, Co. C, 13th Massachusetts]



          Friday   July 18th
     Rained hard all day.
Our work to day, was carrying
hard bread up stairs, and
packing it away.  We handled
about fifty Thousand pounds
of it.  It is in cases of
fifty pounds each.
Received letters to day, from
Mary H. and Sophia.
