Still we remain in the same position. Both armies seem to be
preparing for defense operations. I have no doubt but what Grant intends to
hold this line, but I think it far from his intentions to attack the rebs here
again. Probably he will soon move round Lee's left flank and then perhaps build
another chain of forts; really hope he will manage in some way to get round so
much assaulting; enemy threw a few shells just at dark which all went over us;
no change tonight.
