This morning about
six o'clock there was heavy cannonading towards the Rappahanock. It is now
after nine o'clock and the firing still continues. We have just received orders
to form and are now resting in line ready to move at the word of command.
Perhaps I may see my first battle today or to-morrow—will it be the last?
