Am not feeling well; marched nearly all night; arrived at
Halltown heights at daylight; went into our old position; am now on picket on
the right of our line; enemy followed us up and skirmished with our rear guard “right
smart” all day. About 11 o'clock a. m. the First Division was sent out on the
pike; rumored it's driven the enemy back; hard thunderstorm from 3 o'clock to 4
o'clock p. m.; quite cool this evening.
