[from the diary of Samuel Johnson, of the 1st Massachusetts Independent Light Battery]
June 3rd
Yesterday and to day have been the two
most quiet day’s we have had for a long
while, A. twenty pdr parrott battery has been
busy shelling the rebel piquet line all day,
to which the rebs would occasionally
reply. Mild and pleasant.
