1862 March 16 New Bern, N.C.

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Private, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
Saturday

Sunday
March 16
This morning our regiment attended
church a the M.E. Church. Mr James
preached an excellent sermon about God
being with us, and O how I enjoyed gong to
church once more. It is a lovely day and
the trees are just blowing out. This afternoon
we moved our quarters into a house by
ourselves. George found a fiddle which he
gave me. Went down to the wharf and got
our knapsacks. This evening sat and read the
Bible and enjoyed the quiet of the room.
