1862 May 3 New Bern, N.C.

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

Saturday
May 3

Slept down at quarters last
night and went up to the hospital
at six this morning.  Came down and read
and played backgammon.  Tonight Frank
and I agreed not to play a game for a
month.  Had quite a pleasant chant with
him this evening.  It is very warm.
