1862 October 3 New Bern, N.C.

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

Friday
Oct 3
Felt very weak and discouraged as usual
but made out to do my duty.  Wrote home
and sent ten dollars.  O may God in mercy soon
cause the war to end if consistent with His will.

MSS 11293
