1862 September 10 Camp near New Bern, N.C.

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

Wednesday
Sept 10

Still stormy and dull.  Felt pretty bad
when I got up  this morning but felt
better after getting up.  It is very dull and un-
pleasant here now.  Played euchre some and read
some.  Changed my book for "Self Help" which I
partly read.  Its very huddled up in the tent, es-
pecially in rainy weather.  I long to see the end of
the war and go home to my friends.
