Friday, 12th.—Very heavy cannonading all round the line all day.
Thursday, 11th.—Rained tremendous hard rain late yesterday evening; had to sleep in ditches where water and mud was half-leg deep. Every flash of lightning, the Yanks would shoot at any one who chanced to have his head above the works.

Tuesday, 9th.—Cannonading nearly all night around the lines. Siege continues about as usual.
