Raining.
The sudden booming
of artillery, shelling our department boys, intrenching at Bottom's Bridge, was
heard until bedtime. I have heard no results of yesterday's operations.
All is quiet to-day,
up to 9 A. M.
Received a letter
from Custis. I have not heard whether he received the food and blanket sent him
yesterday; the latter, he says, was wanted badly the night before. He charges
Fanny, as usual, to be regular in feeding and watering Polly, his parrot; and
never to leave the door of his cage open, for fear he may fly away.
