June 27.—Started early in the morning for Middleton. The day was cloudy and rainy part of the time. Reached Middleton and went to General Howard’s headquarters. Learned that the rebels had gone through Hagerstown to Pennsylvania yesterday, Longstreet’s corps being the last to move. General Lee went through Hagerstown yesterday at 12 o’clock. Our tents were pitched just behind the town. I went on as officer of the day this evening.
