1862 October 15 New Bern, N.C.

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

Wednesday
Oct 15
It has not been very rainy but cool
and cloudy.  We got a camp stove for
the tent.  I have been reading one of Beechers
Sermons, on the "Joy of Salvation."  Have felt rather
lame and sore today, but I am more fully inclined to trust in God, through all trials
and afflictions.  Boos keeps his nonsense
going most of the time.
