We struck tents this morning, and moving three miles around
to the right, cleared away the heavy timber and brush for our camp number 5.
Our camp is just at the edge of the vacated breastworks of the rebels, they
having lost them by being outflanked by our forces. Lieutenant Anderson of
Company A returned from home today, having been on furlough.
