Colonel Taylor
Assistant Adjutant-General
 
Colonel,
   I have the honor to report that everything is quiet on this line. At the railroad bridge there has been a little activity on part of enemy, perhaps to guard against the fire of the railroad gun {on the Richmond & York River RR}. I have examined the above line from Dudley's to rear of White Oak Swamp and see no indication of any considerable force in my front. They may be somewhat behind. I will send a report in the morning early.
Very respectfully, &c.
R. Ransom, Jr.
