Hailey. From Camp Edway we
started on Sunday night after
dark and marched twelve
miles and took up camp

was turned over but without

road again next morning early.
This was Monday the 3rd

the big spring that day a

ceived news that our men
had 3 or 4 hundred yankeys
surrounded on Valley mou

excefs of heat. We arrived at
Vally mountain just before
night. Before we could get
our tents up it rained
and we got wet and it
rained about every other day
