Very pleasant weather. We started at 8 o'clock this morning
and moved forward twelve miles. There was some skirmishing in front, and our
forces routed the enemy from some strong positions.1

1 When the Confederates had good positions, they
were unable to make a strong stand and retain them. For although they could
delay our army for a time at the main crossings of rivers, there was always
another part of our army reaching the same river by some byroad, which after
crossing would flank them, or coming up in the rear would drive them out of
their defense – A. G. D.
