1862 September 22 New Bern, N.C.

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

Monday
Sept 22

Have had the diarrhea very bad today
so I did not go out to drill this afternoon
Feel very weak. Weigh only a hundred and twenty
eight pounds. Lay round and read some. O if
it were not for the sustaining power of the blessed
Savior, I know not what I should do, but blessed
be His holy name, I find consolation and support
in Him through all things.

MSS 11293
