Army Life of an Illinois Soldier, Charles Wright Wills.

May 29, 1864, 4 p.m.

Have been in the rifle pits all day. We’re now expecting a charge from the Rebels, that is, our division commander is. I think they will lose an immense sight of men if they attempt it. News to-day of Davis moving his capital to Columbia, S. C, and of Grant driving Lee across the Savannah River.
