Moved<\/span> whole division across the
\nriver by the way of Long bridge and en-
\ncamped for the night on Georgetown heights
\non the road to Poolesville.
\nOur<\/span> march was exceedingly interesting.
\nIt was about dusk when we passed through
\n\u201cCamp Franklin.\u201d Just before we reached
\nFort Albany we heard singing. Could see
\nonly bright camp lights beyond. The music
\nwas suggestive and to my soul inspiring.
\n“Praise<\/span> God from whom all blessings flow
\nPraise<\/span> him all creatures here below
\nPraise<\/span> him above ye heavenly hosts
\nPraise<\/span> Father Son and Holy Ghost.\u201d
\nIt was a prayer meeting just breaking
\nup.

When<\/span> we crossed long bridge it was
\nnearly eight o\u2019k. p.m. Our line of march<\/p>\n

was straight up through the city by
\nWillard\u2019s Hotel and Gen. McClellan\u2019s residence.
\nIt was one of the most exciting events
\nof the season to us. Over a year had
\npassed since the troops entered the city
\nand now after experiencing the trials
\nof a severe campaign they had returned
\nonce more to tread its streets.
\nColumn<\/span> was formed and once
\nagain I beheld that splendid movement
\n+ those well dressed lines which reminded
\nme of the time when reviews and
\nparades were in vogue. The people
\nin crowds lined the sidewalks and
\ngenerously cheered as our brave boys
\nbearing their riddled colors moved
\nby.
\nAs<\/span> each regiment passed the
\nresidence of the Commander in chief
\nhuzzas were given for McClellan.

\nA<\/span> wretched sabbath every way to

\nMoved<\/span> at 9 o.k. a.m. Passed through

\nFranchot was today assigned to Gen.
