July, MONDAY 15 1861. We rode all night and at six O'clock A.M. we arrived at Elmira N.Y. where the good folks set a table and the young Ladies waited on us with smiles and refreshments that made us forget where we going. TUESDAY, 16. (Camp Eddy) We arrived at Harrisburg at midnight and this morn we landed at Hagarstown the terminus of our Journey by rail. we encamped out side of the town, the name of the ground C. Eddy. WEDNESDAY, 17. Last night was my first night as a soldier in the enemys country. several of the sentinels shot off their guns thinking that the enemy were sneaking about the camp. more scared than hurt.
