Diary of Brigadier-General William F. Bartlett, July 23, 1864

Assume command of First Brigade. . . . . . Quiet day. Occasional bullets through camp. . . . . . 10 P. M. The bullets are flying through here very lively to-night.

“Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake . . . .
