This morning were inspected by Capt Platt.
Chief of Div. Artillery, who informed us
that Yorktown had been evacuated
during the previous day and night.
At eleven A.M. we received marching
orders but did not move until
7 P.M at which time we embarked on
steam-transport Stars for West Point,
a point some 40 miles up the York River
By midnight all having embarked, we
hauled out into the stream and anchored,
to await day light. Pleasant and
warm.
