War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Tuesday, August 9. — Heard of the surrender of Fort Gaines to Powell at Mobile. Some of the officers refused to recognize Colonel Marshall as commandant. Troubled all night by bed-bugs. Had some trouble with Corporal Patterson, who was drunk and wanted to run me through.
