Centerville.
I don't feel quite as exhausted after this horseback ride as I did after my first one in Sperryville. Today I am again doing quite a lot of riding.
A number of twelve pound howitzer (?) cartridges and canister shells, fissured, were found hidden close by the headquarters of the regiment, in a blockbarrack (sic) covered with an old shingle roof. Great stocks of weapons, munition, quartermaster articles and medical supplies have been found in many places all over the entire neighborhood. During our return march we burned some of it and left the rest. I have been instructed to collect the munitions etc. and gather a wagonload full, which I deliver to Washington the following day.
