[from the diary of Jonathan B. Hager of the 14th Regulars as recopied and annotated by him at a later date]
June 20 Heavy firing today. A shell from a rebel
fell into a camp not far from us and
killed a soldier of one of the Connecticut regiments
We had a brigade drill today. I acted as
Lt. Col. and got several scoldings from Col. Buchanan
our brigade commander, for not getting exactly
twenty two paces-- My Company went on fatigue
duty tonight, but not being well I was excused.
