1862 December 2 New Bern, N.C.

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

Friday
Dec 2
Drilled this forenoon in skirmishing
George is on guard.  Have been doing
some company writing this afternoon, Capt.
Denny went home to day.  Have been reading
the Adventures of Girard the Lion Killer. and I
also amused myself with a bug, putting him
on a piece of glass and observing his efforts
to get off, but why dont we get a mail.
