1862 July 11 near New Bern, N.C.

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

Friday
July 11

Went up to the surgeons this morning
as I have had nothing pass my bowels
for seven days.  Took a dose of rhubarb
this morning, and he also gave me some
pills to take.  Read and slept to-day.
