May 7, 1863 [Thursday].<br \/>\nCamp, near Falmouth, Va.<br \/>\nMy Dear Father:<br \/>\n\tI think I answered your last letter but I am not sure.<br \/>\n\tWe left our camp on the morning of the 27th and marched about six miles and went into camp, the 10th being on Provost Duty, marched in the rear of the Division and consequently did not get into camp until about two hours after the Division.  We had to stay behind, to keep up the stragglers and also the pack mules (we used pack mules instead of wagons; had one mule to eight officers and mules to carry ammunition).<br \/>\n\tOn the morning of the 28th, we moved again and marched about the same distance that we did the day before and again went into camp.  After we had been in it a short time, General Sykes issued an order saying that our next march would be a \u201clong and rapid one.\u201d<br \/>\n\tOn the 29th we again moved; the Division ahead and we bringing up the rear as before.  We marched to the Rappahannock and had to wait \u2018til the II and XII Corps passed.  This is where we laid the Division last.  We had to stay on the banks of the River until nearly dark when we were ordered to cross.  After we crossed we marched all night (and the rain was pouring down) and also, until next morning when we caught up with the Division, went into camp within \u00be of a mile <\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":2377,"height":2927,"file":"5-7-1863-p1.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-244x300.jpg","width":244,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-244x300.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-768x946.jpg","width":768,"height":946,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-768x946.jpg"},"large":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-1624x2000.jpg","width":1624,"height":2000,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-1624x2000.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"5-7-1863-p1.jpg","width":2377,"height":2927,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-7-1863-p1.jpg","filename":"5-7-1863-p1.jpg","filesize":2786893,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8601"}]}}
