Diary of Private Louis Leon: April 4, 1863

Firing at intervals all day. The reserve was sent to the river to support our artillery. The colors went with them. It is raining hard. We laid in line two and a half hours in an old field. It is very cold. The Yankees are firing all the time. Then the 43d Regiment came and relieved us.

Katz came in to-day and reported Henry Wortheim dead-he died Monday, March 30.
