[from the diary of Samuel Johnson of the 1st Massachusetts Independent Light Battery]
July 6th
Yesterday and to day have once again passed
in quietness. the balloon was up both days;
this afternoon we changed our camp about
one mile to the front. Smith’s div. are
building fortifications on our left. Warm and
pleasant.
