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

July 1 — We renewed our march this morning toward the United States, and we passed through Martinsburg and moved down the Williamsport pike. We forded the Potomac at Williamsport, then passed through the town and moved out on the Greencastle road about five miles and camped.

Our camp to-night is in Washington County, Maryland, and not very far from the Pennsylvania line. The country we passed through this evening along the Greencastle road is beautiful, the land fertile and the farming good.
