War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

July 19. — We started at 6 A.M., and moved on to Hamilton, 8 miles distant. We found this town a regular secession hole, like almost all other towns in Virginia. Our headquarters were at a Mr. Janney’s house. He was captured a short time ago trying to run goods over the river at Point of Rocks. Day warm and pleasant.
