1862 October 18 New Bern, N.C.

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

Sunday
Oct 18
A very nice cool day.  I went out on drill
this forenoon.  This afternoon wrote a letter to
Mary partly answering hers which I received last week.
Have been reading the Fitchburg Sentinel of Oct 10th
but did not find much news--cleaned up my things
and loaded my gun.
