Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell: May 27, 1862

Rob and Hal¹ both safe. The Boston Transcript says: “Captain Carey telegraphs for publication the following account of the regiment: Captain Mudge and Lieut. Crowninshield wounded slightly; Major Dwight and Dr. Leland probably prisoners. All the other officers safe.” I didn't feel yesterday as if any misfortune had or would take place, so the news didn’t create a great revulsion in my feelings, but poor Mother, who had been really waiting to see Lieut. R. G. Shaw killed, was, as everyone would expect, very much affected.
