[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
Wednesday
March 12
4 o'clock P.M. Another splendid
day. Started about eight o'clock
this forenoon down towards Newbern.
I am on guard duty today. Receivd a
letter from home and one from Jennie
to day. We are ow as near as I can
make out, approaching the Neuse river.
We can see smoke arising all round
on the land. May God give us strength
and watch over us. Heard to day of the
Merrimack coming down to Fort Monroe
and sinking the Cumberland.
