Sunday, June 12th.
About 10 P. M. we were ordered to withdraw very quietly from the line we had held so long, and did so, moving to the rear of Col. Tidball’s Artillery Brigade headquarters, where we rested in line until 9 o’clock P. M., when we marched off in an unknown direction with the artillery, continuing to travel until 5 o’clock in the morning. On the march we crossed the Richmond and York River Railroad at 3 A. M., and it was estimated that we made something like twenty miles during the night.
