In position near Culpepper. The day was warm and pleasant. Myself and Owen McManus went to the Third and Sixth Corps. Started at eight A.M., and rode through the town of Culpepper; went to the camp of the Eleventh Massachusetts Regiment, and the First and Tenth Batteries. We met Billy Ford and Alonzo Huckins, of our men, at the Tenth Battery. They joined us, and we went together through the streets of Culpepper, and returned to camp at two P.M.
