Manassas very distinctly.
This was the second days march
from Stanton. The next morning
it was raining. This was Monday.
One of our company William

the measles and was sent
back to Stanton. We marched

June and arrived at monte
ry that evening early. In the
evening here I met with sever
al of my acquaintance in the
Companys of L. M. Shoemaker
