[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding of Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
The Conn. 10th came aboard last
night about six Hundred of them
They got on about eleven o'clock, I went
to bed once and then got up again.
The Adjutant of the Conn 10th whose name
was Coit occupied the room with me.
We lay alongside the wharf last night
They loaded the baggage this forenoon
and sailed down and anchored again
a little way below the city. They say
there is a British Man of War anchored
right outside of the harbor, I dont know
for what purpose. I have been looking
round and sitting and standing round
the greater part of the day. We are ex-
pecting to start to morrow for Fort Monroe
May the Lord watch over us and give
us success and give our leaders Wisdom
and may they depend entirely on Thee
O Lord of hosts
