It has been a very warm day, but we have not had to march
much; laid on our arms in line of battle last night behind our works at
Quarles' Mills; no skirmishing in front till this morning. A portion of the
Sixth Corps passed by us to the left and ran into the enemy a few rods beyond.
Our brigade started about 10 o'clock a. m. and marched to Noles Station as did
the First Division of our Corps. We burned the depot, destroyed the Virginia
Central Railroad for about seven miles, and returned to the train; remained
there about an hour, changed position to the left about two miles and camped
for the night.
