Sun shining bright this morning. Skirmishing firing began at
daylight. A number of the enemy's sharpshooters are up in high trees. They
annoy us very much. Not safe to show one's head above the rifle pits. Saw
General Sheridan pass quickly along the line, just as a shell dropped inside
our intrenchments. No damage from it, as it exploded just beyond our line. We
are on the watch, as the skirmishers are kept very busy.
