Diary of David L. Day.

We Leave for Plymouth.

Newbern, Wednesday, March 18. After months of idleness in camp, at last comes a change. At 4 o’clock p. m., orders came to break camp, pick up our traps and be ready to march in half an hour. Dark found seven companies of us on board the steamer Escort, bound for Plymouth. Companies A, E and II were left to follow on another boat. The night being dark and stormy we waited till morning before leaving.
