Had orders last
night at 12 o'clock to cook rations and be ready to move at 4 A.M., but this
morning nothing farther is said about it. The order was given in anticipation
of an attack, in consequence of some demonstrations made by the enemy last
night.
It is now three
weeks since the great battle, and I understand that a great many of the enemy's
dead are yet unburied. I found, four days after the fight, some of their
wounded still unattended to. One of them, belonging to
the Sixth Ohio, I made as comfortable as possible, by filling his canteen with
water and furnishing him some matches.
