He writes that they were given orders to relieve the troops of the 10th Corps while they made a reconnaissance towards Richmond. When the Colonel and staff went back to "the line" Coit stayed behind to attend to office business. He says it is new to him that he should stay comfortable while other troops are "lying out." He says there will most likely not be any more fighting unless the Rebel soldiers attack.
