1862 May 25

Yesterday all was very quiet, received orders
to march, but they were soon countermanded,
To day we again received orders, and by
eleven A.M were in motion. at one P. M
after a short march we halted and encam-
-ped on the Gaines Plantation. about five
mles from R. and but one from our piquet
line. During the evening the rebs by way of
compliment, threw us over a few shells
but no damage was done by them.
Warm and pleasant.
