June 3 — All is quiet this morning. 3 o’clock p.m. — Gun boats are now shelling us. Charley Graves was wounded a few minutes ago by one of those shells. His leg will have to be amputated.
4 o’clock p.m. — Heavy cannonading at this hour on the back line — musketry can also be heard. It is reported that Johnson will attack the enemy on Friday the 5th.
8 o’clock p.m. — We left our trenches and moved up the line to the left, to support a weak point near the Hauls Ferry road. Heavy cannonading is now going on at that point.
9 o’clock p.m. — The gunboats have now come up and are now shelling the bottoms in the direction of town rapidly. They continued an hour, then calmed down and we got to sleep a little. W.R.C.
