Our battery moved to the river, close to Yorktown, ready to be shipped. General Franklin's corps is embarking already. We loaded ammunition all day.

Diary of Private Theodore Reichardt, Wednesday, May 7, 1862
Our guns were put aboard the steamer Delaware. We started for West Point, at the mouths of the Pamunkey and Mattapony rivers. Arrived there at five o'clock P. М., and dropped anchor for the night. General Franklin's corps had a fight with the enemy's rear-guard.
