War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

May 12. — Weather very warm. Went down to General Griffin’s and took dinner there. Went to my regiment, to General Barnes, and to the 22d, and stopped at General Meade’s headquarters on my way back. Found that Captain Clapp and Captain Strang had gone to Washington, and that I should have to act as acting assistant adjutant-general.
