Thursday, May 19.—Corps started by 4 A.M. Drew in my pickets by 4.20 without any trouble. None of them were fired at. The corps marched three or four miles to the left, and took up its position on the left of the Sixth Corps, in front of Anderson’s house. We began to in-trench late in the evening. Had quite a strong position. Day pleasant. Saw Henry Dalton and breakfasted with him and General Russell. Heard of General Sedgwick’s death.[1]
[1] He was killed at Spottsylvania on May 9.
