June 2nd. On the march again, on through New Market. As we go pushing up the valley, our advance are again having a hot time, judging by the booming of the guns. Passed the Lincoln Springs, a fine body of water coming out of the ground. The force is strong enough to drive a mill. A good drink from its cold water. There are many fine springs in this valley. Our boys are driving the Rebs as they advance. Report comes that our cavalry boys have taken Harrisonburg. Hard marching over these rough, stony roads. Very tired tonight.
