May 18, 1864
---Battle
of Spotsylvania, Day 10: Very little happens today on the respective
armies’ fronts. Grant re-orders his
lines, and conceives of a plan to send one corps marching to his left down the
railroad to Richmond, and hoping that Lee will take the bait and follow this
corps, while Grant follows, in the hopes of catching Lee in a trap. He plans to put this in execution tomorrow.
