1861 December 23

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

Sent a letter home this morning
Was detailed this morning for
the Commisary Dept. Went down and re-
ported to the Commisary General and
staid at headquarters till about 4
oclock and then we were taken over to
the Steamer Admiral, and given a
supper of fried oysters, bread, butter and
coffee. We then went ashore and were
sent right back to stop on the boat over
night. I am now on the cabin stairs
