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

September 16 — To-day our battery was transferred to General Fitzhugh Lee’s division of cavalry, which is camped at present about twelve miles east of Orange Court House.

Late this evening we said farewell to our old brigade of cavalry and started to join our new command. We left the ford little before sunset, and marched to Barnett’s Ford on the Rapidan and camped for the night.
