river on a bridge of pine poles. We made poor time. and camped at 5 PM after going only 4 miles. The 20" corps train was in our front, hence our halt, Weather delightful, but such roads. The country is very poor and thinly settled, 19" Made a brisk march of 12 miles going over a pretty fair country Quite a heavy fight in front said to be our 1" & 2" Div and 20 corps. These swamps hinder us more than anything else, Every half mile nearer, we find them and have to file across them on foot logs. Camped in a large open field near a swamp
