[From the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
February 6
Lay at anchor last night and started
this morning at eight oclock, this morning
We are in sight of Roanoke Island. We
stopped about noon, and the gunboats
have gone ahead to engage the enemy's
fleet. Have been singing and also learned
to play chess with Charlie Upton. It rains
to-day. God be with us and grant us success.
