For two hours this morning the Washington Regiment had an engagement. The rebels tried their best to break through their lines but the boys held their own. The 10th is very little bothered and it is said they are more afraid of us than any other regiment as a good many know our work on July 31st and know we are at right close to the church. Again I was fired at this morning when I took a load of beef out but it only hit the wagon and one went clear through the beef. Two battalions of the 20th Regulars are on guard in the walled city and one battalion is at the front. In general the day has been very quiet. Some business houses still remain closed. Business is therefore very dull and the boys have no chance to spend their money. John Collins, the company cook, came in tonight to bake pies for the boys (dried peach and apple). This will be much appreciated. Dewey is doing some heavy firing somewhere as taps sounds.
