1862 August 26 near New Bern, N.C.

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

Tuesday
Aug 26
Company and battalion drill today
Fired blank cartridges to night.
A small mail came from Fort Monroe
but nothing for me.  am longing for letters
as it is nearly a month since I got one
Sometimes feel gloomy but then I trust in God

MSS 11293
