1862 July 26 near Warrenton, Va.

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


     Saturday   July 26/62

   Pleasant all day
   Worked at the depot in the
forenoon.  When we were at dinner
Richard White of the 13th
came in and said that
he had got an order for
us to report to the Regt.
He brought it to the Provost
Marshall.  We did not work
in afternoon.  Wrote a letter
for one of the Negroes that
work at the Depot.
