It has rained all night. At 8 o’clock, firing opened up on our extreme right and the Nebraskans and Californians had a good deal to do as it kept up until noon but it started again in the afternoon and kept up until 4 p.m. By 5 p.m. all along the line we were engaged. The Utah and 6th Artillery Batteries did some good work. We got some mail early in the morning. I received three letters and answered the same before night as the mail leaves in the morning. Everything is quiet on the line but the rain is coming down in torrents at Taps, 10 o’clock.
