[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding of Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Tuesday Feb. 18 Felt pretty bad this morning
and did not get up to breakfast
We had to go and escort about 550
prisoners down to the fort which was
bombarded; a pretty long walk. Got
back about three. We looked all over
the fort. Ate some stewed beans after
we got back and then went up to see
Ed Brown. He was abed not feeling well
Have felt lonesome and homesick to-day
This evening have been setting up with
Fitzgibbon hearing him play on his flute
It is rainy and cloudy most of the time
May God in His mercy soon bring peace to
our land, and return us in safety to our homes
MSS 11293
