one scene of desolation Passed but few houses, Camped in an immense field on the banks of Broon Run 31 miles from Alexandria. The day was uncommon hot and Hunter marched us the faster the hotter it became 18" Manassas Plains how grand, yet how desolate, At sun rise took the road 31" in advance of Div and marched briskly to Bull Run. forded it, and moved on to Centerville and got dinner 2 m beyond.
