This day, 9 o’clock, the 6th regiment of thePennsylvania line departed York, Pennsylvania. (Each colony has its own “line” in the Continental Army.) Along with my regiment went the Second Regiment and the Fifth, a total of about 1,000 soldiers. Accompanying us was the Fourth Continental Artillery, consisting of 9 officers, 6 guns, and 90 men. Marched 12 miles, encamped on the road to Maryland.
