or I would have camped for the night somewhere and renewed the attack this morning; besides, I had no forage with me for so long a stay. The enemy foraged very close, carrying off everything in the way of forage. After I had been in Winchester about an hour, and had started about 2 miles toward Newtown, Captain Johnson, of the Twelfth Pennsylvania Cavalry, from Martinsburg, reported to me with about 100 men. I sent them back to Bunker Hill on my return to Winchester. I am led to believe that there has never been a larger force than about 800 in or about Winchester within the last week.
Believing that the object of the reconnaissance was fully accomplished, I respectfully submit this report.
I am, captain, with much respect, your obedient servant,
