[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Wednesday
Sept 24
Foggy and cloudy this morning, but cleared
off soon.. I went up to the surgeon again
this morning: He gave me no medicine
but marked me for light duty. Scoured my gun
and marked Phineas' things this forenoon: this
afternoon I read in the life of Arthur V and picked
over some beans. this evening I learned the first of
the Devotional hymns. Boss and Alger were very
noisy on account of taking too much Whiskey. I
asked them to be quiet, but Boss abused me, I am
afraid I was too much puffed up with pride. O
Lord help me to overcome it.
