1862 April 26 New Bern, N.C.

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding of Co. F, 25th Massachusetts]
Saturday
April 26
On guard at No 11 first division
very rainy to day.  Played euchre
this forenoon.  My relief went on at two.  My
beat was a bad place in rainy weather
right on the corner out in the rain.
