1862 March 3 Roanoke Island

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

Wednesday
March 3
Quite warm to day and muggy
Had a company drill and went
down on the beach and staid a few minutes
This afternoon have been reading and also
made up a package to send home by Page
and also wrote a short letter to send by
him. also went up to see Ed Brow. This
evening have been reading newspapers
which were received by mail to-night
It rains now. We expect to start soon,
but where we dont know.
