1862 November 25 New Bern, N.C.

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

Tuesday
Nov 25
Three contrabands came in this fore-
noon from above Raleigh.  They are
smart looking fellows and I am glad they are
free.  This afternoon the boys have been putting up
the new tents, Aaron Aldrich is up here.  He came in
here and talked sometime this evening.  I have been
troubled with diarhhoea[sic] to day.
