War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Saturday, February 8. — Wrote an account of a court-martial for Captain Locke. Morning, snowed slightly, cloudy the remainder of the day. Nothing of interest happened. Captain McHarg, brigade quartermaster, said that General Porter would not allow him to get me any flooring. I can’t conceive why he should do so, but I suppose for some good reason.
