Another Sabbath morning has dawned, and finds us in the same
uncomfortable position as yesterday, yet I will not complain of the intense
heat as long as we can remain quiet. We get plenty of lemons and ice from the
Sanitary Commission which alleviates our discomforts considerably. The enemy
still permits us to remain quiet, but are less lenient to those on our right,
as fighting was kept up all night. Burnside was attacked but held his own.
