Part of Crooke's command came as far as Brownsburg (they
were four miles from E.'s house), and there they turned around and went back
to Staunton, we hear. All this seems very inconsistent; why should they
come up the Valley Road this far, and wheel round with nothing before them but
McC.'s and J.'s little remnants of regiments? It is quite mysterious, for it
seems to have accomplished nothing.
