[August 26]
Transports were not ready, so we had to wait till Sunday, the 25th, when our regiment embarked on the steamship Spaulding, together with the Fifty-second New York and Second Delaware. We lay off the dock all day Sunday, waiting for the rest of the division to embark. Early on Monday morning, everything being ready, we steamed away for Acquia Creek on the Potomac, where we arrived towards evening and remained on board all night.
