Saturday, October 11, 1862
During the week the Twentieth Massachusetts regained some strength in numbers. The regiment welcomed fifty of their men who returned after wounding or capture at Ball's Bluff in October 1861. Thirty new recruits arrived at camp and joined the regiment. Lieutenant William Milton returned after his wounding at Antietam, and Lieutenant Arthur Curtis returned to camp.1
