April 28 — This morning we, together with the Tenth, Thirty-Seventh and Twenty-Third Regiments of Virginia Infantry, went with a train of forage wagons as a guard to protect them from Yankee scouting parties that are prowling around searching for something to snatch. We went within a mile of McGaheysville, and remained there until the wagons returned.
I think that the Tenth Regiment of Virginia Infantry has just recently joined Jackson’s army, and has quite lately arrived from the Rappahannock. Today was the first time I saw it. It carries a large and splendid Virginia “Sic Semper Tyrannus” flag, the first one I have seen in the army.
