Capt. Buxton's last writing. He was killed in battle. The diary was found in his pocket and soon sent to his wife according to his request found at the beginning of this book. His pencil is still in its place.

"This diary was sent to Mrs. Buxton who died several years ago at the home of an aged aunt. About 1920 it was found in an old desk which was being sold at auction. The finder was a member of Old No. 4 Chapter, D.A.R. who gave it to Stephen A. Spooner, a member of Lincoln Post, G.A.R. of Charlestown, N.H. who had known Capt. and Mrs. Buxton. I am Comrade Spooner's daughter, also a member of Old No. 4 Chapter D.A.R. I am sending the diary for the Civil War department of the Adjutant General's office of Vermont."
