Page 96: April 1862 18,, [bracket: Sailing down the Potomac] We are having a most pleasant trip. It is warm and at the same time breezy. As we passed Fort Washington the garrison cheered us lustily and their band played. * * * Now we are off Matthias Point and moving slowly over the shoal places. It grows cloudy and looks like rain. It sprinkles. We shall have something of a storm tonight. We have passed the rebel batteries and the wonder to all is that the enemy should ever have deserted them. |
