This morning prisoners began to show up. They were guarded
from here to Harper's Ferry by a portion of our regiment, who relieved the
cavalry escort, or guard. Our boys joking with them. Some of them we had been
up against at Lynchburg, during Hunter's raid. The wagon trains have left here,
going on to Harper's Ferry. Nothing for us to do here. Reported late tonight we
leave here in the morning.
