We have a car so that some of us go down to New Bern everyday. I have charge of 2 of the picket post, the outer post…there is 4 hundred guerrillas about 4 miles above us…one of the rebels deserted and came down to us…he said that it was so and they was a coming down to take us…they will have a good time doing it for there is 2 pieces of cannon and 2 Co's. of the 27th Mass regiment and Co.
