June 22 — The enemy that drove us so persistently yesterday fell back last night, and this morning we started in their pursuit. We moved toward Middleburg.
We marched down toward Upperville a mile, then waited in the road until about ten o’clock, when we advanced rapidly toward the retreating foe. We passed through Upperville and went as far as Middleburg. Near Middleburg we shelled a while with a Yankee battery, but they still kept falling back and we gave up the pursuit and moved back about four miles to Rector’s Crossroads and camped. Middleburg in Loudoun County is a beautiful little town, a row of locust trees on each side of Main Street extending from one end of town to the other.
