March 1 — Last night we cooked three days’ rations, and were ordered to be ready to march by daylight this morning. At daybreak we had everything packed and on our wagons ready for the word forward. Little after daylight we moved down to Narrow Passage Hill with the battery and awaited the approach of the enemy. We remained there until noon, then returned to our old camp again. The enemy that was expected to do some tall advancing to-day fell back to Winchester.
