June, Wednesday, 24. 1863. Today a party of rebels came to one of the plantations not far away & burned the property there without cavalry we have no means of preventing this. Smoke seen from our camp. Still at work on the fortifications. Wrote a note to Genl Dennis Thursday, 25. To day the rebels appeared in still largere numbers burning plantations & running off the negroes.
