March 1863

March 9 - The Report of Lt Lawrence L. O'Connor, Provost Marshall, Fairfax Court-House, VA 3:30 am

Captain Mosby, with his command, entered this town this morning at 2:00 am. They captured my patrols, horses, &c. They took Brig Gen Stoughton and his horses, and all his men detached from his brigade. They took every horse that could be found, public and private, and the commanding officer of the post, Col Johnstone, of the 5th New York Calvary, made his escape from them in a nude state by accident. They searched for me in every direction, but being on the Vienna Road, visiting outposts, I made my escape.
