Captain DAVIS,

Chief Signal Officer, Headquarters Army of the Potomac:

Everything has been quiet on this front to-day. The enemy are moving large numbers of wagons in both directions, to and from the direction of Richmond, but mostly toward our left, and they are not in large trains, but a few at a time. Working party near Chesterfield on the work in the rear of that battery. One hundred Union prisoners moving toward Dunlop's from the left has been reported by Hopping and Jordan. I feel that I cannot spare Holman now, and have sent Nicholls to relieve Moffatt. Do you object?
