Wednesday, May 18th.
Our battalion was temporarily assigned to Col. J. Howard Kitching’s Brigade of the Reserve Artillery to-day, which lay along the Fredericksburg road, and at daylight we moved to join it, marching to a point near a house called the Harris House, I think. Very soon after our arrival artillery and musketry opened on the right of our army, and it was rumored that in a charge made by the Second Corps, a line of rifle-pits were taken and substantial earthworks unmasked behind them. We are all the time hearing about successful movements by the Second Corps. At night we counter-marched about five miles and camped near our last camp ground.
