June 19th. Returned from the works at 8 A. M. this morning, tired out, but in good spirits, as we indulged in a good deal of sport when the firing slacked. Had a good dinner, the sutler having finally found his way to camp. Lieutenant-Colonel Parisen returned from sick leave to-day, looking very well. We were all pleased to have him back with us.
McCall’s division, of Pennsylvania reserves, from McDowell’s army, joined to-day, and were placed in position near Mechanicsville.
