This has been
another fine dry and bright day. The roads are geting quite good. The dust is
thick on Pa. Ave today. There has probably been no fighting
over the River as yet but the next week is expected to be an important time in
the history of the War. McClellan has got a “good ready” and is now
about to act. Nothing is now allowed to be published in reference to the troops
or the War, consequently the papers are quite uninteresting. I have been in the
office today as usual, have been at home all the evening, reading &c.
