1862 September 8 12 miles from Washington

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


     Monday   Sept 8th/62

     Stragglers have been coming
in all day many bare footed
If we could only remain in one
place a day or two we could
have our necessities supplied
The Sutler was prompt with his
load, and I made a Good dinner
out of Corn Starch.  In the afternoon
went to a brook and had a good
bath.
