1862 July 29 near Warrenton, Va.

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




          Tuesday   July 29/62

   Went to the Depot this
morning but found very
little to do.  So came back
to house and went to writing.
After dinner I went to depot,
and we found that we had
been relieved and were all rejoin
our Regt,  As there is a prospect
of a Fight, I am glad it is so.
Capt Smith said he was
sorry to have us leave,
we attended to our duty
so well
