Three Years in the Confederate Horse Artillery — George Michael Neese.

October 20 — On picket. To-day twenty-seven wagons came from Harper’s Ferry through the Yankee lines and passed our post. They are wagons that the Yankees borrowed from General Jackson to convey their wounded from Harper’s Ferry to Washington, after the fight at Harper’s Ferry last month.
