1862 February 17

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 2th Massachusetts]

Monday Feb. 17 Had a rather wet and hard night
but made out to get through. Had
to get ready to escort prisoners at eleven
but finally did not go. Swapped Knives with
one of the prisoners and also bought a
sheet of paper with the secession flag on it.
