War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

April 11 — A detail of 500 men was ordered this evening to report for repairing roads, etc. General Benham sent in to General Butterfield his report on his first reconnoissance. All the pontoon trains were inspected by order of General Benham. Inspected the one in the 15th New York Volunteer Engineers. Day pleasant, as have been all the days in the week.
