June 6 — This afternoon our battalion was ordered to move toward the Rappahannock. We marched to within one mile of the river, on the Beverly Ford road, and camped in the south edge of a woods on the west side of the Beverly Ford road. However, this is more of a bivouac than a camp, as we are not allowed to unload our baggage, as we are within one mile of the Yankee line, which is on the north bank of the Rappahannock, and nothing between us and the enemy but a cavalry picket line. Hood’s division of infantry passed us this evening, moving down the river.
