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

Got all cleaned up and ready
for review and inspection at three
o’clock but it commenced raining so we
did not have it, Got a good long letter
from home which did me much good.
Wrote an answer this afternoon. Enjoy Gods
blessings with joy and still continue to
trust in Him.
