War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Monday, June 27. — Went over to corps headquarters, and saw General Burnside, and got him to accept the resignations of Captains Redding and Thayer. Received notice of Priest’s death. Captain Hollis sent for an extension of his leave for 20 days from the 22d. Had a letter from Raish. In the afternoon we had quite a pleasant shower. No firing of any account during the night.
