[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
Got up at half past six cleaned
up our quarters rolled up our
blankets, got our breakfast of boiled beef
and coffee, and then came inspection
we then unslung knapsacks and marched
down to the city to escort the 24th Mass
to their camp ground. Got back about noon
I was almost tired out when we got
back and lay down on the straw till I got
dinner, which was of beefsteak and hard
bread. We have a days ration of bread
delivered at noon. attended services
at one, and then read &c til half past
four, when we had dress parade.
This evening I staid in the sergeants
tent nearly all the evening, Feel about
used up with cold. It is pretty uncom-
fortable now on account of cold weather
Coffee for supper
