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

May 26—Marched to Martinsburg this morning without meeting with any obstacle in the shape of a blue enemy. The Yankees are all gone to the safe side of the Potomac. They left a goodly portion of provisions in the railroad depot here, such as bread, cheese, canvased beef, beef tongues, and cakes.

Camped at Martinsburg on east side of town.
