Dear Mother
As I have not started my letter yet I Just write a line or two more. everything is comparitively quiet this morning. The enemy acknowledge that they were severly punished on last Wednesday [properly Thursday] 27 on the whole line from the North side of the James to the extreme right on the South side James. They now are in their old position they started from on that morning, I think it will be some time before they can make another fight. So I think you need not have any uneasness
