1862 October 20 New Bern, N.C.

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

Monday
Oct 20
I watched from nine till twelve last night
and tried to sleep the rest of the night but
could not much. Sat and planned improvements of the
farm and also thought over old times.  this morning
Companies K & G took the place of B & J
went back to the city and ate my breakfast and
then did my washing.  Bought a can of condensed
milk and ate rice and milk for dinner.  Read some
It is a beautiful day and nature seems to smile.
