We were off at 7 a. m. and marched ten miles through fine
country. The roads were good and no swamps to cross. They had good crops here
last year, and there was plenty of forage, so this evening we had our
haversacks replenished. There was some heavy cannonading off on the left in
front of the Twentieth Corps. The weather is fine.
