1862 May 8 New Bern, N.C.



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

Thursday
May 8

Got ready to go on guard this
morning.  When news came that
were going off after all so we must get
ready. Sent some things home by express
Borrowed a dollar of Ed Brown.  Quite
warm and pleasant weather.  Wrote a letter
home.  May God my father be with me
and preserve me from evil.
