[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Sunday
Nov 23
We were somewhat surprised this morn-
ing to hear of the orderly's death, although
he has been sick for sometime. A sergeant and
fourteen men were detailed to attend his funeral
which was down at the hospital. Thus another of
our company has been taken from us, and may it
be the means of leading many who are thoughtless
to turn to the Lord. I have not felt well at all today
as my food hurt me. O Lord, remember
our friends in mercy this night and all
those who have friends in the army
