[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]

Thursday
Sept 25
Went out to company drill and had a
very easy time with Charles Upton to
drill us. after coming in, I wrote part of a
letter home and one to John Sawyer. Had rice
for dinner.  The Colonel drilled the regiment this
afternoon for the first time since he came back
The news from the North continues favorable, and
may God in His wisdom soon bring the war to
a close.  This evening I learned the second hymn
in my book.  Have felt very well to day. got
a new blouse and a pair of socks.  Scollay came into
our tent to day.
