Leverett Bradley: A Soldier-Boy's Letters (1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery.)

June 22nd. Moved forward about ½ a mile and erected rifle-pits. A Reb. battery annoyed us considerably. About noon, firing was heard directly in front. Soon after Barlow’s Div. came rushing over our rifle-pits, the Rebs followed. Engaged them a short time and fell back. Loss: Co. B 8 wounded.
