Notes on entry 12:

June 13, 1864 - Monday

Today we are expecting that we shall have orders to proceed immediately to the White House.

Landing, we are very tired, having marched all night which it is all of eighteen miles.

We arrive within a short distance of Powells Mills, which is on the Chickahominy River.

This morning it is 8 o'clock before we get fairly to marching.

We soon cross the Chickahominy River at a place called Powells Mills.

We stop for dinner for two hours.

We draw fresh beef but are very short of rations of bread which is hard and march.

Every day we pass the plantation of Vice President Stephens of the C.S.A.

It is a very nice residence built of brick.

Half passed four we stopped and rest one hour.

We expect to march the remaining five miles.
