June 19th Sunday
Started about five this morning and cross the river just ahead of our division. They say they are to report to Army headquarters. Got on park at half past six. Moved the ____ across the road out of the dust. We are so close to city point that we can hear the ____ whistle. Received a letter from WB. Wewey(?) and one from mother. Very hot and dusty today.
