            <dateline>Wednesday 14 </dateline>
            <p>The morning was lowering, and this afternoon we had a furious thunderstorm. We
               had news yesterday of the battles of <placeName>West Point </placeName>and <placeName>Williamsburg</placeName>, and this
               afternoon received mail &amp; papers. I had a letter from <persName>John</persName> of the <orgName>7th</orgName> by
               which time they had just received letters from us. <orgName>Col Emory's Brigade</orgName> with the
<orgName> 2nd</orgName> <placeName>Maryland</placeName> went off on some expedition to day. </p>
               <pb facs="https://leaf.bucknell.edu/sites/default/files/2026-01/diary67.jpg"/>
               <p><persName>Gen. Burnside</persName> returned
               yesterday, and there was a review of the C<orgName>avalry Regiment Col. Wine </orgName>- it is a
               splendid regiment. Yesterday we were over looking at two sections of light
               artillery firing at a target. The other field resembled<placeName> Camden</placeName>, and the firing
               resembled it most, only we were behind instead of in front. They were firing at
               targets from <placeName>Fort Totten </placeName>with 32 pdrs. Thunder what a noise &amp; it called up<placeName> New Bern</placeName> - when the 24 &amp; 32 pdrs from the water batteries put in their
               occasional clamor, above the din and noise of the smaller fry. </p>
