1862 February 1

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

Rained hard last night. I slept with
Phineas again. Slept first rate. Came
down to the New York this forenoon and then
got the boys to row me to the New Brunswick
again. The Col of the Tenth told me to go back
to the regiment, but I thought I would go and
see the Adjutant General. he was on the Spaulding
so I went over with the mate, and he told
me to stay here to-night and there would be an
order come from headquarters for me to-
morrow, so that I shall leave right if at all
and I feel that God will direct my steps
as He sees best for me, He has thus far
led me on most mercifully, and I feel that
He is a Kind Father to those that put their
trust in Him.
