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

Friday
Oct 24
On picket to-day with Mike and Savaria up back
of Trenches.  It has been a very pleasant day
We bought some eggs of a man who passed this forenoon
and had some for dinner and supper.  We sat round
and talked and I have enjoyed the day very well
