This morning finds us at Winchester after an all night's
march. The night was hot. Did not have the hot sun beating down upon us. The
return march was slow. After a few hours' rest and something to eat, pushed on
to Berryville, east of Winchester. Reached there at night, tired out. A march
of thirty miles from Cedar Creek. The enemy following on after us. Orders to
remain here over night. Owing to the hot dry weather, the brooks and creeks are
dry, no wading.
