Peebles House, October 25th, 1864.
We will probably, leave here tomorrow morning. Where we go no one knows, but all feel that something startling is about to happen. Appearances indicate a long and rapid march. All baggage not absolutely needed is to be sent to City Point. Instead of wagons, pack horses are to be used. We are to carry three days’ cooked rations in our haversacks, and five days’ uncooked in our knapsacks. A pontoon bridge is to accompany us.
