May 6. — Came to camp early in the morning. Slept during the day. The last boat was taken out of the river at Bank’s Ford at 11 A.M. No pursuit of our army was attempted. Day rainy and disagreeable. I received a letter from Frank and Hannah. Also from Uncle Oliver. Read a paper for the first time since the movement began. Trains from Bank’s Ford arrived late at night.
