Friday, 27th.—We remained at Barboursville. Colonel Rains ordered his demi-brigade to cook three days’ rations and be ready to move early the next morning.
We were now in twenty miles of the enemy’s camp at Laurel Bridge. Col. Brown, who lived near London, was in command of the Home Guards at that camp. Colonel Wolford, with a part of his regiment, was also in that vicinity.
