I left them to get bandages from Dr Allen and I remained with Dr A until the cavalry shot at me and drove me back to Centerville[?]

There I remained with Dr Green of Mass. until the Brigade was ordered back to Falls Church and until our Hospital at Ward masters[?] came along with an Ambulance containing five wounded and asked me to accompany them

In the darkness and confusion I could find but few of our Reg. and I was too exhausted to search for them and so I continued with the crowd and remained by The Ambulance riding on its fills[?] down hill and on level ground. At Fall Church We arrived at about four in the morning. There I placed the wounded in the care of Mr[?] Edgerly ordering him to get every thing ready for all the wounded who might pass, for I did not at once think that the main body of our forces were retreating

I then took the Amb. and rode about four miles and then hobbled into Washington arriving there between six and seven and at eight oclock after getting my instruments
