[from the diary of Wesley Hammond of the Dixie Greys, Co. E of the 42nd Virignia]

Arrived at camp to day (5 miles
to march) almost broken down when
we arrived at Camp – road tremen-
dous muddy – were glad to get back
to camp again – Wrote to Cousin
Naomi Y – read only one chapter
in the bible – am almost ashamed
to record it as it was my own
negligence that I didn’t read more.
