War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Saturday, June 18. — We went into position again this morning at 2 o’clock, joining on to the left of the Second Corps. Remained here all day. The enemy evacuated their line in our front, and the Second Corps and part of the Ninth advanced about a mile. Day very warm. Our loss yesterday was 8 killed, 44 wounded, and 15 missing, out of a total of about 130 present for duty.
