mfortable in a house bought with our friends' money. I have been riding all day, getting ready for to-morrow's battle. I shall now retire to rest, earnestly praying God to protect us, and give victory to our side. Battle of the Wilderness, May 5-7, 1864. Battle of Spottsylvania Court House, May 8-18, 1864. Federal loss-killed, wounded, and missing-May 5-21, 1864-39,791 (O. R.). Headquarters army of the Potomac, May 19, 1864. All goes on well up to this time. We did not have the May 5-21, 1864-39,791 (O. R.). Headquarters army of the Potomac, May 19, 1864. All goes on well up to this time. We did not have the big battle which I expected yesterday, as, on advancing, we found the enemy so strongly entrenched that even Grant thought it useless to knock our heads against a brick wall, and directed a suspension of the attack. We shall now try to manoeuvre again, so as to draw the enemy out of his stronghold, and hope to have a fight with him before he can dig himself into an impregnable position. We have recent Richmond papers containing Lee's congratulatory address to his army, so you see both sides
