April 21st
We are now located in splendid quarters, just evacuated by Martin’s North Carolina Brigade1, but we expect to leave them soon. This evening orders arrived to leave for Weldon again, and we again marched to Wilmington, and again as before the order was countermanded, and we returned cursing the inconstancy of a soldier’s life. It is now thought we will be kept here sometime. The rest of the brigade has gone on to Weldon. General W.S. Walker is now in command of it, Vice General Evans, lately injured by a fall from a buggy.
