Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: Sunday, May 11, 1862

A beautiful Sabbath morning; there is quiet along the line. The army is anxious to close in upon Corinth. It is reported that the rebel army is evacuating; how true, we cannot tell. Pope still continues skirmishing; there is a continual rumble and roar along his line this evening.
