1862 February 20

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

Thursday Feb 20 Very pleasant to-day. This forenoon
we were formed and marched up
to the Captains quarters, and told what
clothes we wished to draw. Had a
brigade drill this afternoon about a
couple of hours. Wrote home to-day and
sent a shell from Hatteras which
George Lowe gave me. Have felt much
better this afternoon than I did yesterday
Feel quite well this evening.
