HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAC,
April 28 – 11 A. M.
Hon. E. M. STANTON, Secretary of War:
Nothing of interest has transpired during the night. No firing on our right, where the works proceed undisturbed. On the left the enemy fired a good deal, but hut no one, nor was the work interrupted. I have just sent a heavy field battery to silence a gun or two of the enemy that have been impertinent this morning, but have hurt no one. The weather has improved and we are making good progress.
(Signed,)
GEO. B. McCLELLAN,
Major General Commanding.
