Near Brookville, June 29, 1863.
I am afraid your Colonel is disgraced forever; — in
consequence of my regiment being removed and of Hooker's neglecting to picket
it with another regiment, Stuart's Cavalry came across yesterday and are making
pretty work in the neighbourhood of Washington. I have been after them for
eighteen hours, — but presume I shall not harm them much.
