Cloudy with wind; regiment has been on the skirmish line;
have advanced about a mile by swinging our left round nearly parallel with our
present line of battle; met with no opposition; enemy seems to be in the valley
between the two flanks of our army; no news to-day; army very quiet; can't
continue long, as Grant seems to be cautiously working round both flanks of the
enemy; things look suspicious to-night; mistrust something's afoot.
