We moved our camp from St. John’s College to about a mile & a half from Annapolis. We are now comfortably fixed with the only disadvantage of a scarcity of water — a very serious one by the way. Jeremiah Miller, one of our company, died last night — about eleven o’clock — of hemorage of the lungs. We had hardly expected it, though we were about getting his discharge. We had a grave dug in the soldiers burying ground near Annapolis. Our removal to-day prevented any discouraging effect which might have been were it not for the excitement caused by it.We are brigaded as [?] in the Second brigade of the Coast Division. The day was bright and fine though somewhat cold. One of the tents caught fire & burned up a while ago. We have given one of our wall-tents to the servants, & have taken a common tent for our kitchen & Dick’s quarters. We have a sheet iron cook stove & one also for our tent which makes it cosy and comfortable. I was officer of the day yesterday. We received news of the death of Will Cameron last Friday.
