Warrenton.
We awake five o'clock in the morning and have a beautiful view of the city.
We meet a vast amount of wagontrains. Before us in Warrenton as many troops as grains of sand by the ocean.
Behind Warrenton rest in a cool oakforest. Our noonday meal is being cooked and we have the opportunity through washing and rest to repair ourselves.
Here too we hear cannonthunder from time to time.
Extra feeding.

We are at Manassas, VA taking in some of the events commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Second Manassas.
