Camp on Mud Creek, Monday, June 27. Lay in our bivouac all day awaiting transportation by rail to take us to the front. 3rd Brigade and 12th Battery started at noon. Weather very oppressive. B. F. Runyan was sunstruck this afternoon. Raved all last night in greatest agony. Will be sent North tomorrow if he survives. Five of our boys and negro Anthony tied to the wheels all day to-day for straggling. “The way of the transgressor is hard”. Wrote a letter to folks, waiting with all anxiety for our evening mail, but it did not come.
