1862 October 27 New Bern, N.C.

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

Monday
Oct 27

Cleared off very cold during the night. We
were put through double quick and bayonet
exercise.  Wrote a letter to Hen Russell after drill.   This
afternoon read and talked with John Simonds.
There was a small mail came in today
but I got nothing.  Read this evening in the Boston
Journal and Cultivator.  Three new regiments came
in today.
