Harriman at Washington that night. "Saturday, February 21, Mrs. Harriman and myself left Washington for Newport News, Va. Went to Baltimore ; thence at six o'clock (evening) went on board steamer Georgiana, and sailed down the bay. At midnight a severe gale and snow-storm came on. We cast anchor, but were driven before the gale in spite of the anchor. We put up into the Potomac, and up the St. Mary's, which falls into the Potomac, cast anchor, and remained till Monday morn- ing. We then came on... to Fortress Monroe and Newport News. Mrs. Harriman remained here, enjoying the scene finely, till Wednesday (February 25), when she left for New Hampshire. " Our encampment here (Newport News) is very pleas- ant. It is close on the James River, — or more properly, perhaps, Hampton Roads. The ground is smooth and level. A large army is here, including the Ninth Corps, to which we belong, and which moved down here from opposite Fred- ericksburg ; and the men are cheerful and happy. On my return here to the regiment, after an absence from it of three weeks, the reception which awaited me was very "gratifying.
