Went out with Gen. beyond Cub Run - Look in battery & support just beyond the Run. Superintended destruction of bridge afterwards. Went into position on the hill just this side again. While standing on the hill noticed picket firing near our old position. Enemy opened with guns from the road. Fired but a short time We sent up a battery to reply.
