Continual
skirmishing going on with the rebs between Sharpsburg and Hagerstown, Maryland.
Reported that General Lee is trying to cross the Potomac River into Virginia.
We are either skirmishing or changing our position most of the time so that we
are kept on the go about all the time and most of the movements are at double
quick time. The most important subject under discussion is, “Why doesn't Meade
attack Lee?” as we have a number of regiments here who were not at Gettysburg,
having come as reinforcements.
