Nothing in particular done until afternoon, when Companies
B, D, I and E were sent across to Harper's Ferry under Lieutenant-Colonel
Andrews to seize some flour. We took possession of all the roads leading to the
town, built barricades, etc., and held them through the night while seven
hundred and eighty barrels of flour were carried across the river. Another
rainy, cold night.
