Before Vicksburg, Monday, June 22. Quiet, dull day. Very little firing by artillery. Ammunition, scarce. Eben Davis of 20th Iowa visited us in the afternoon. Report says fighting on Black River with Johnston. Ambulance gone back. 3rd Brigade of our Division under marching orders. Wrote two letters which occupied most of my time.
