Three weeks since the unfor-
tunate battle of Baker's Creek!
There is every prospect of our
being able to hold out here
so long as our subsistence
and ammunition last -- God
grant that Johnston may
overcome the enemy before
either is expended.
No fire from mortars today --
quite a relief! Artillery &
sharpshooters fire kept
up all the day on the line,
with about usual loss to
us. Distant firing said
to have been distinctly heard
during the night in the
direction of Snyder's Mills --
conjecture is that our
cavalry is there operating
on rear of enemy.
