�Aug. 30th 1862.
We marched from our encampment last evening at Annandale to Centerville.
Just as we passed Fairfax C. H Gen. Slocum directed me to go forward and obtain all the information possible relative to the work of yesterday the events of today and our present line of battle. I would learn nothing of Gen. Butterfield, who with the rest of Gen Porter conf. reached Centerville just as I arrived. I went to Poke's headquarters. No one there. Afterward saw Gen. Griffin who could tell me nothing. Then road up Warrenton[?] Pike saw Gen Sturges and talked with on of his aides; but learned nothing.
After passing Cub Run met a gentleman who was serving as an Engineer on Gen. McDowell's corp and who told me much that was interesting.
