We moved forward, in an all-day rain. The First Division
took the advance, while the Third was in the center, and the Fourth in the
rear. Our regiment was rear guard of the corps, and did not get into bivouac
till 10 p. m. The corps upon going into bivouac late this afternoon threw up
fortifications, for we are twenty miles in advance of the left wing, and have
to lie here till they catch up. The Fifteenth Corps is away off to our right.
