Diary of Private John J. Wyeth, April 30, 1863

The weather is fine. Yesterday, we heard from the expedition, which left New Berne, lately, under Col. Jones, of the 58th Pennsylvania. They are near Kinston, only about four miles distant. They have had a skirmish, losing a few men. The "Escort" sailed North to-day. Our regiment was inspected this forenoon, at ten o'clock.
