[from the diary of Jesse Calvin Spaulding, Co. F., 25th Massachusetts]
Thursday
Dec 25
Christmas day and it was with a
sad heart that I arose this morning
There was a regular old Camp Oliver fog
and as we have to get up at six, it was dark
and cold, but I know God will not forsake
His children, and I look to Him alone for help
This forenoon I have been making out pay rolls
most of the time, George is on guard. John
Simonds who was helping me make out the rolls
was taken with a chill so we gave it up for the
day. This afternoon I have been delivering clothing
to the boys, and it is a real source of annoy-
ance to me, it has been running so long, but I
got through it with Halls help.
