April 2 — This morning we went on picket one mile from the Yankee line, which is established along the north bank of Stony Creek. However, some of their cavalry were on this side of the creek early this morning, but they did not tarry long. We had a lively and interesting little game of shelling with the Yanks this morning. We came back to camp at Red Banks this evening.
