Took up the line of march at sunrise; marched through Frederick Town, Maryland, where there was a number of British officers (prisoners), who took a view of us as we passed through the town. We made a very respectable appearance. We crossed the Pomock [Potomac] at Newland's ferry; were obliged to cross in bad scows. One unfortunately sunk, loaded with artillery, &c., and a few men, in which one Sergeant and three privates of our Regiment were drowned; encamped on this side of the river.
A number of us dined at the Tavern (or ornery as the Virginians call it.) The night turned out to be very heavy with rain, and we were obliged to take up our quarters in Col. Clapham's Negro Quarters, I mean a number of the officers of our Regiment. We rose early the next morning and breakfasted at said Ornery—18 miles.
