[from the diary of Samuel Johnson of the 1st Massachusetts Independent Light Battery]
July 7th
The N. J. battery took up a position on our
left to day. both left sections being short range
guns, they were sent to the right to cross fire
our guns, if we were attacked. Were turned
out at 4. A. M and remained in harness
until 7. A. M. Very warm and pleasant.
