1862 September 9 Mechanicsville

[from the diary of Ephraim Wood, of Company C., 13th Masssachusetts]


 Tuesday   Sept 9th/62

     The teams came from Washington
to day with Knapsacks blankets
Canteens for those that lost
theirs by the Rebels.  Shoes & C
will get along tomorrow.
About three Oclock packed up and
marched nine miles to Mechanicsville
on the way to Frederick.
