"Tuesday, Feburary 7. The weather was terribly cold. It began to rain in the morning and there was a cold sleet all day. Crawford's Division moved out again [from near Hatcher's Run] and formed its lines further to the right, joining the Second Corps. The line advanced into some weeds and met the enemy, who opened a severe artillery fire. A solid shot passed directly under Sergeant Augustus Pomeroy, which stunned him and covered him with mud. The same shot ricocheting, killed Sergeant George H. Canfield and George Wallace, both of Company I; wounded Sergiant Walter Morley of D and took a leg off [sic] John Danbert of D."
