Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Wednesday, April 5, 1865

The regimental chaplains are occupying the pulpits of the different churches of Goldsboro and conducting nightly meetings. A large number of the boys are attending and a great many are coming forward and professing the name of the Lord. May the work continue until all have made the profession.
