1862 July 27 near New Bern, N.C.

[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding of the 25th Massachusetts]

Sunday
July 27
Got up this morning and made
me some coffee.  It had cleared
off in the night. the rain came through
the roof, so I had to take my blanket from
under me and put it over me, We
started about seven and went to Pollocks
ville where we staid three or four hours
and then started for  home.  I travelled
barefoot from Pollocksville nearly home.
We reached camp thoroughly tired out
about ten at night.
