"I don't think anything will come of this fighting.

It is getting dark already, and I have no fear, now, that the Blues will break through.

Neither party will be able to see the other, in this wood, and certainly you could do no good with your pistols.

Practically, few are engaged on either side.

The Blues have made one effort and, finding that we have a very strong force in their front, have given up the attempt to push forward.
