Orders early to move. Sent 10 teams yesterday after forage. Sent two
today for rations: Went with Pike and Ed. Livingston to the front, raining
quite hard. Last night Gen. Hancock moved from right to left and this morning captured
a division of Rebs under Johnson — Bushrod, I hear. Several charges made to
little purpose. Ed and I visited our breastworks and one battery of 15 guns,
Napoleon 12 and Rifled guns. Artillery firing very heavy all along the lines.
Train pulled out about 2 o'clock and moved to within 3 miles of Fredericksburg.
Cut off several miles of bad roads. Camped a little after dark. Rainy night. Firing
still continues.
