War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Tuesday, October 18. — Captain Amory received his box from home, with several Northern papers and books. Gave me a shirt and a pair of drawers, which Major Anderson sent me. There was a large meeting in town last night to consider Mr. Boyce’s letter. Had a drunkard in the lock-up who amused us. I was measured yesterday for a pair of shoes, to be finished by Saturday, by one Flannigan. Colonel Marshall received a letter saying he would be exchanged.
