War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

June 24. — Started this morning for General Howard’s headquarters with a dispatch from General Reynolds, but on reaching General H.’s picket line, I found that three guerillas had been started out of a house close by, some ten minutes before I came up. The ladies who were here started back for Washington this morning. This evening we heard that Longstreet had crossed into Maryland, and we received orders to move for Edward’s Ferry. Day pleasant.
