19th Friday
Reville [sic] at six AM we packed up and started about half past eight. we came back over the road that we went to the river on the other day. we came to white oak church and there rested some time then we filed right and camped in a fine woods. it is a splendid place for a camp. I suppose that we came about two miles today. it is clear and very nice traveling. Our sutler Geroge Greer just got up with the regiment today. he charges fifty cents a pound for cheese, ten cents a paper for tinfoil tobacco.
