[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Did not get to sleep till after midnight
my head ached so. This morning I feel better
Went up to the surgeons and he gave me a dose
of oil. It still continues to rain. They say there is
a mail down town and I hope to get a letter. It is
now about noon, and Waham, Haynes, Partridge and
Boss are playing whist. Alger is cleaning
a gun and there is the cry "a mail has
come." no letter for me this time. The new assis-
tnt surgeon came to day. His name is Mecomey
brother to John of Fitchburg.
