[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Wednesday
Oct 22
One of Company G. was shot on picket
last night. Twenty of each company were
detailed to find him which they did this forenoon
He was shot through the right shoulder, and had
to have his arm taken off at the shoulder. I staid in
George Lowes tent most of the forenoon singing
and talking about farming. He says his father
makes money farming and does not work very hard
either. This afternoon I read in "Fowler on Memory"
We have had no drill to day, only dress parade.
There was a cavalry fellow got thrown off his
horse and hurt his head some but not very bad
