32 On Lee's flank

had forced the women of the neighborhood to bake for them, and they left in such haste that they could not take it with them. I should think that thair was 500 pounds in the two piles that I see. A barn was burned here with many bodies in it, and round the outside. One reb officer now found close to the barn with his clothes all burned off, but a packet lay on his leg and in the fold was a walet that contained a letter that showed who he was and a fine gold ring. We did not stay here long before we turned about and went back across the same field and near dark started towards Antietam creek. We marched that night in the mud and it was so dark that we could not see our hand before us and the officers had lanterns. We got to covered bridge about twelve o'clock at night and camped.

6th Orders was read that the rebs pantoons wer captured at Williams Port.

7th Marched within 5 miles of Fredrick

8th We marched early in the morning
