Remained in camp till 5 P. M. when we were ordered to march. Went out
one mile and dismounted. Soon received orders to return to camp. Artillery firing
commenced early in the morning and continued all day — terrific towards
evening. A continuous roar. What suspense. God grant that we may be successful.
May He give wisdom and grace to our leaders, strength and nerve to our men and
victory to our cause. We must be successful, for it must be that the right is
on our side. I would give anything to know and witness how goes the battle. A
very warm day.
