We got a mail tonight and Hezckin? received a letter which informs us that Ned is going with General Sully's (Sullivan's) expedition to the plains this summer. unclearwill we be widely scattered, one facing grim death on the fields of Georgia. One farming in Minnesota, one adventuring on the plains of the Northwest and then battling on Virginia's soil. Sunday June 19th 5th Day of Siege We are still laying where yesterday's battle left us. We have good unclear which we dug with our bayonets and plates last night. we have been shooting at the rebels all day but I don't expect we have hurt many of them. The fort was to the left which was so foolish unclear charged yesterday is about half mile from us and as we have a flanking fire on it it is our sport to elevate our rifles and make the unclear rebs feel uneasy there. Of course we cannot hurt them much but we can make them feel so bad. If we only had a position here for artillery, we could easily take it. No on in our battalion has been hurt today up the present hour (6:30 p.m.) I have slept considerable of the time today.
