May 22nd - All night our fellows keep up a constant fire and don’t allow us to sleep a bit. The enemy have been making demonstrations on our right and left all day, but are always driven back after sharp fighting. Awful hungry, can get nothing today but dry corn bread and some ice that we found in an ice house.
May 23rd - We changed our position last night and moved farther to the left. The Yankees discovered it and opened on us with their batteries, and for half hour such incessant firing I have never heard, all to no purpose, for we sheltered ourselves by our breastworks. No harm done, but a great deal of ammunition wasted. Very hot and no shade.
May 24th - Today we lie quiet, tho our pickets keep up a constant racket. Tonight we go on picket.
