November 15th. Tents were struck, wagons loaded, and the troops fell in about 9 o’clock this morning, marching in a southeasterly direction, north of the Rappahannock. Our division had the extreme right, glad to be on the march again. Only made an average march, and went into bivouac a few miles south of Warrenton Junction early in the afternoon. Very cold. The men cut down timber and made some magnificent camp fires, which kept us comfortable throughout the night.
