"A cloudy day.  We have orders to prepare 3 days rations & be ready to march at a moments warning.  Orders came to be ready to leave at 4 O’clock.  Soon the drum beat & all in lines.  Our Brigade (Benning’s) in front.  We passed through the village of Fayetteville.  Here we took the Chambersburg and Baltimore turnpike.    After marching all night we stoped at 4 O’clock and rested 3 hours. “
