104 White House, Va - Friday, Augt. 26th 1864 We fell back last night, from the position held by the 2nd Corps, to this place. The march was an exceedingly tiresome one: we would go a short distance and then stop, in this way nearly the whole night was consumed. Col. Christ and his son, Harry came back to the regiment this morning. After ariving here the boys were immediately set to work building a large Fort, facing left and front, Col. Christ seems to have charge of its construction. I am unwell, owing to being worn out by the all night march and being almost continually wet from the almost daily rain
