War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Thursday, October 6. — Wrote a letter to Alice, to go by Lieutenant Ware. Had a heavy rain in the afternoon. A Mr. Caldwell called with a letter from a Mr. Coleman, 80 Wall St., New York, and offered to cash any of my drafts on Father. He lent me $50 for temporary use. Some more car-jumpers came in. Nothing new in papers.
