Early this morning our regiment took position in line,
having been relieved from picket and skirmish duty. We can see the enemy over
on the hills near Strasburg. Skirmish fighting is kept up between the lines
during the day. We watch one another from the hills. Both sides open up once in
a while with field guns. All is quiet this hot night, firing ceased.
