Weather very warm and sultry; showery towards night; enemy
in front all day; neither side seem ready for another fight at present; no
picket firing to-day to mention. General Meade rode along the line and seemed
much pleased with our breastworks; said if we could hold them eight days we
should be all right; don't know what he meant by this; mail to-day; all's
quiet.
