April 10th. A cold, damp, disagreeable morning. Passed the Point of Rocks early this morning. Saw that the Potomac River was on a rampage owing to the recent heavy rains. On arrival at Harper’s Ferry formed in line for a march to Camp Hill, Bolivar Heights. During our absence the 34th Massachusetts Regiment was ordered to take our place, so took possession of our camp. We were forced to take quarters in old buildings until camp could be located and tents put up. A large mail was waiting for us. I received a number of letters.
