1862 June 20 before Richmond, Va.

[from the diary of Samuel Johnson of the 1st Massachusetts Independent Light Battery]



     June 20th

Yesterday moved camp a short distance.  the
Johnnies have kept up a pretty brisk fire upon
our lines to day, but as usual no material
injury has been done by them.  Pleasant and
extremely warm.
