[from the diary of James Dinsmore Templeton, musician and private in the 23rd Ohio]
Monday, July 7, 1862
Guard mounting this
morning & Parade &
Drill this evening
Practiced both before
& after noon
Felt like writing
some to day wrote
letters to Eli Hazel
& Mrs Campbell
Have news this evening
from McClellan he
claims to have gained
the position he desired
The Battle has been
indeed terrible one
great slaughter on
both sides
Clear & very warm
MSS 10317
