Numbers 21. Report of Colonel Joseph N. G. Whistler, Second New York Heavy Artillery, of operations June 11.

HEADQUARTERS SECOND NEW YORK ARTILLERY,
In the field, June 11, 1864.

CAPTAIN: I have the honor respectfully to state that the enemy opened fire this evening at about the hour of the assembling the pickets. Four shots were fired, two of which took effect in my regiment, slightly wounding 7 men; also a few men from other regiments who had assembled for picket duty. It would almost seem that the enemy were cognizant of the hour at which our pickets assembled and opened fire accordingly. One of the shells did not burst until after it entered the ground. I caused it to be dug up, and found used instead, a portion of which was found attached to the shell. The angle of elevation being so much less than usual in mortar firing, it is my opinion that the shots were fired from a howitzer at a very high elevation, and with a small charge of powder.

I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. N. G. WHISTLER,

Colonel Second New York Artillery, Commanding Regiment.

Captain G. H. CALDWELL,

Asst. Adjt. General, First Brigadier, First Div., Second Army Corps.
