Diary of Private Charles H. Lynch: February 16, 1864

In New York. Left Norwich last night by boat. A cold sail on Long Island Sound. Remain here today and tonight. My cousin Theodore Luyster enlisted in the ioth New York Regiment. His father and mother feel very badly over it. Many other mothers and fathers have been made to feel sad over the same thing. Boys seem bound to enlist.
