1862 December 1 New Bern, N.C.

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

Monday
Dec 1
The first day of winter, but it seems
very little like it. it is so warm and
pleasant to-day.  I have been busy this forenoon making
out the monthly returns.  This afternoon Sam Eddy
of the fifty-third was up here.  After supper we had a
rough and tumble game awhile. a
flag of truce came down to the lines today
Captain Moulton got back to day. George got
a box of paper by Quartermaster Brown.  It is
reported to night that we are going to take part
in an expedition.
