May 13, marched to north foot of Peter's Mountain. we were ordered by Colonel Sickel to cross the mountain in advance, and to take a position on the other side to prevent the enemy from taking position there. Company B was deployed as skirmishers, and ascending the mountain, we came upon an abandoned provision train, and one piece of artillery, of which we took possession after a slight skirmish.

May 14, marched at 12 m. to Indian Creek, Monroe County.

May 15, marched to Union, Monroe County.

May 16, left Union and marched to within one mile of Alderson's Ferry, Greenbrier River, where, the river being high and facilities for crossing limited, we remained until the 18th instant, when we crossed and marched to a point three miles this side the ferry, on Muddy Creek, Greenbrier County.

May 19, we marched to this place. This is the first active field service our regiment has experienced, and they have with commendable endurance and patience made heavy marches, with short, and part of the time no rations, and many of them barefoot. I have no data from which to ascertain correctly, but hear the distance marched by our command estimated at 246 miles.

I am sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

D. FROST,

Colonel Eleventh West Virginia Infantry Volunteers.
