Major-General to G. W. Brent, July 5, 1864

CoLONEL: Nothing of importance has occurred along the line during the last twenty-four hours. General Gracie reported clouds of dust in rear of the enemy’s line which seemed to indicate the movement of troops toward the enemy’s right. It might have only been the movement of wagons. His command is still engaged in making traverses; one well affording good water has been dug by the Forty-first Alabama and two more are nearly completed. Brigadier-General Elliott reports no change in his front. The work upon the batteries on Colonel Faison’s line is nearly completed. He also reports that clouds of dust were seen in rear of the enemy’s line yesterday evening.
