Romney
Morning: Departure to Romney.
Our Regiment the Outposts.
We halt at ten o'clock on the outskirts of this city by a waterfall for one hour. Friendly little city. Like everywhere many negro slaves. It is situated in a magnificent mountain basin. We more onto a hill about ten minutes above the city. We receive bacon, beans and sauerkraut which was finished cooking about five o'clock. For us, the fever afflicted, it was possible to raise a loaf of bread for twenty-five cents. Aside from that bars of maple sugar for ten cents, we use for our tea. It is reported our stay here will be an extended one namely to get completely equipped. We already found some troops stationed in Romney, Maryland Infantry. Shoes and stockings are still missing, instead blouses, trousers and caps are distributed.
