Saturday, May 14th.
About 9 o’clock in the morning we came up with Burnside’s Ninth Corps in full sight of Spottsylvania Court House. During the day the artillery was gotten into position, and at about 7 o’clock P. M. there was some brilliant cannonading by both sides. We were moved up to the rear of the Artillery Brigade near the Nye River, where private Collins was wounded, and remained all night waiting for orders to camp, burrowing in the mud and sleeping under sheets of water, but no such orders came. We traveled about six miles to-day.
