June 13 — This morning two regiments of Yankee cavalry crossed the Rappahannock at Beverly’s Ford and drove in our outer pickets. We were immediately ordered forward with our section of artillery, and went into battery on Fleetwood Heights at the very same position we held in the battle a few days ago. At first our two guns were the only ones on the field, but after we were in battery about an hour two batteries of Major Beckham’s battalion came on the field.
General Stuart and staff and General Hampton arrived on the field immediately after we went into position. Fleetwood is about two miles and a half from the Rappahannock. It seems that the Yanks did not venture very far inland this morning after they crossed to our side of the river.
We remained in position about two hours, when the enemy recrossed the river, and we moved back to our picket post at Brandy Station.
