New camp near Catlett\u2019s Station.\u00a0 Last night after enjoying a walk and social chat with the Dr. and calling upon our Lieut. Richards, I returned to my quarters with the\u00a0 intention of having a good night\u2019s rest.\u00a0 My intention was of no account, for about ten the bugle said \u201cpack up,\u201d and we were routed.\u00a0 We marched over to this camp by the pleasant moonlight, through woods & mud, and drawing up in line, lay down for the night.\u00a0 Gen. French probably feared a rebel raid, or was drunk, perhaps sober is his uncommon condition.\u00a0 We are near the \u201cJersey settlement,\u201d a small village, so called, on account of being settled by \u201cJerseymen\u201d (New.) It is a commanding position on a ridge, at the foot of which is an extensive plain over which the enemy must come to drive us, unless it flank us.\u00a0 Wrote to Sawyer & Ed. Smith today.\u00a0 Cannonading heard during the\u00a0 forenoon while we were on the hill just above our present situation.\u00a0 This afternoon pitched one tent down on the side of the hill in front of the woods near the brook.\u00a0 A very fine day.\u00a0 Got a little cold last night, otherwise, am in good health and spirits.\u00a0 Relish my food.\u00a0 Have enough hard bread, pork, and coffee, but other eatables would not be objectionable.<\/p>\n
