[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]
(Aug 23rd) Still
working at bridge. Finished it this evening
and prepared to cross; but enemy advan-
-cing in such force, were compelled to with-
-draw Ewells command to this side. Henry
& Tanner joined us this evening from Rich-
-mond; but were forced to leave their wagon
and contents at Stevensburg, (so I am
without my clean clothes which Henry
left in the wagon).
