War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Monday, May 2. — Colonel Chandler relieved me as F. O. D. Took a bath and changed my clothes. Most of the day was pleasant, but in the afternoon we had a sort of tornado. Night chilly. Received several letters and some photographs from Black’s. George Weld wrote me that he had sent me a horse by the 59th Massachusetts, part of which arrived here to-day.
