We were ready according to orders to march early this morning.
General Burnside moved his Corps to the left of us during the night. We all
moved about a mile and a half to the left and threw up a new line of
entrenchments: enemy about twelve hundred yards in our front; weather fine;
small shower about 5 o'clock p. m. cooled the air greatly; enemy quiet in our
front, but heard heavy guns about dark on the extreme left; don't know the
cause or result.
