To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Two hours later we find that instead of even holding his own, he had retreated four miles, but it was only a " strate- gic movement, " and next day it became necessary for the whole army to — not retreat — but — " change its base. " All this it required to tell the simple truth that w^e were over- powered, whipped, and on the retreat. I hope it may not now be the beginning of a like history of General Pope's movements. 14:ih. — At 9 p. M. , received orders to be ready to move at daylight to-m...orrow morning, with two days' rations in haversacks. The crisis approaches, and wiiilst the men are cooking their rations, I note this, and then go to packing. 15 /A. — Called up at 2 a. M. , to be ready to move at day- light. Eight o'clock comes, but no order for us to march ; 10, 12, 2, 4, 8, 10 o'clock at night, and still here. One day's rations consumed, men wearied with watching and im- patient expectation ; no tents, no comforts, men dropped on the ground to rest, whilst other regiments, brigades, divisions, are marching by.
