Passed through Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry. Saw John
Brown's engine house, a very strong position indeed. Great amount of work on the
road, 13 trains passed us this morning going west. Road along the Potomac many
miles. Passed Relay House about 9 A. M. Annapolis Junction at 10 P. M. Tried to
get the landlord up to get some supper. Great time. After rattling away at doors
and windows, got up on roof to window where there was a light. People nearly
frightened to death. One woman about eight months gone — man feared for her.
Officers went to saloon and then back to cars.
