1862 September 26 New Bern, N.C.

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

Friday
Sept 26
Am on guard No. 16 over the Quartermasters
It was a very cool night but the day is
a beautiful one.  O may God in great mercy
grant me a firmer trust in Him through Christ
O Lord grant me a speedy and safe return home
the war being over.  Sat down most of the time on
guard.  Learned part of the third hymn on my beat.

MSS 11293
