Monday [May] 18 [1863]

Troops placed in trenches --
Everything put in readiness
for a siege. Enemy reported,
about noon, on Jackson
road -- skirmishing commenced
on the Brown's ridge and Grave
yard road. Exterior line
of works left by Genl
Smith, by order, the interior
line being much stronger --
Enemy much elated by this
next morning.
