1862 January 20

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F of the 25th Massachusetts currently detailed to Commissary, steamer "Admiral"

Slept on a couple of trunks last
night. Rather rough, but got through
the night. The general and his staff left
this morning. It has been a very pleasant day
the first since we came here. We still lie
here at anchor. I wrote home again.
Bought a bottle of ink of the sutler. Hve
passed the day about as usual in reading
and looking round. Went to a prayer
meeting last evening and also a little whle
this evening. Warm and pleasant weather.
