Any advance by Rosecrans and Burnside remains on hold as reinforcements are sent to Grant in Mississippi. Grant has begun a continuous shelling of Vicksburg, forcing residents of the town inside or under ground.
In the east, Lee continues his movement with the intent of invading the North. Union generals remain unsure of his intent.
Rosecrans polls his generals regarding enemy movements; all reply that they do not see large forces being detached from the Confederate army for Mississippi, and none recommend a forward movement at this time. This coincides with Rosecrans' opinion, and so the army will remain in place.
