[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
Friday
Oct 17
Did not go up to the surgeons this morning
as I felt pretty well. He marked me for light
duty and the orderly told me to draw water, which
I did not like very well. this afternoon I went down
with Mike to the brook to wash. I went out on dress
parade. a mail came to day but no letter for
met. Dr. Whitney thinks I have grown fat lately and I
hope it is so. O may I be properly thankful to the
Lord, who has brought me along so mercifully, and may
I not forget to give him all the glory, and may my will
be wholly resigned to His.
