War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

April 3. — General Benham arrived here this morning at 8 o’clock. About 11 A.M. Lieutenant Van Brocklin, Captain Strang, and I started for Major Spaulding’s old camp. From there we went to the new camp, and then to the picket line, but here we were stopped, our passes being of no avail. On the way back, stopped at the 10th Massachusetts and saw Major George N. Macy. Camp was partially surrounded with a hedge to-day.
