Diary of Corporal David L. Day: October 7, 1861

We were today mustered into the service of the United States, by Captain John M. Goodhue, U. S. A. The company is designated as Company B, and the regiment as the 25th Massachusetts volunteers. I suppose we are now stuck for three years -unless sooner shot.
