1862 September 9 Camp near New Bern, N.C.

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

Tuesday
Sept 9
It was one of the rainiest nights last
night I ever saw.  It rained and blowed
all night and has been rainy all day.  I have
been reading and playing cards some and ly-
ing round in the tent.  This evening I played on
Mike's flute and it made me feel better
and I went out on the parade ground and
prayed with a better feeling than I have for
some time.
