[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Monday
Nov 17
Had drill in the bayonet exercise this
forenoon. I wrote some in the clothing
book. Have been laying round most of the after-
noon. Read some. Hear that Burnside had
taken McClellan's place in command of the army
and may God bless his efforts. It has been quite
warm and pleasant to-day. We hear also that
the twenty-seventh was fired into last night and
the rebels seem to be getting very bold.
