Tuesday, April 4. — Started to join the regiment. Went about 3 miles, and found General Meade’s headquarters. Saw Generals Webb and Macy, and all the staff. Found that my regiment was but a little way in rear. Went back and joined them. Met with quite a pleasant reception from officers and men. We marched about 2 miles and then halted. Saw Loring and Van Buren. Marched till about 7, and then went into camp. Routed out at 9, and marched to Ford’s Station, where we picketed the railroad. Got to bed about 4.45 A.M. Had about an hour’s sleep.
