1862 July 26 near Pollocksville, N.C.

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

Saturday
July 26
Slept very well last night with
Scollay, one rubber blanket under
us and the other over us.  Went to Trenton
resting in the woods sometime in the middle
of the day.  We saw no rebels until nearly
night as we were going from Trenton to
Pollocksville, when we found five in the
woods.  It commenced raining about six
and we stopped in a corn barn
for the night.  Got my feet very wet and
also very sore.
