1862 April 10

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
Thursday
April 10
On guard over the prisoners today
first relief, a tough place as I had
to stay in the guard house, where they were
in all stages of drunkeness. Got my extra
pay of $16.80 thanks to Brown and above all
to God. Sent a check home of twenty five dollars
by the chaplain as we got paid off day before
yesterday, and the chaplain is going home on a
furlough.
