War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Tuesday, November 1.— Colonel Bedel went down to the stockade to-day, to get any letters or money which might be there for our officers. He found that all such things had been sent back to Charleston. He wrote to the provost marshal for it. Day pleasant. Mr. Caldwell called and cashed my draft on Father for $50 in gold. He gave me $1200 in Confederate money. I gave Captain Senn $900, making $1000 now in his hands. A draft for £5 for me was among the letters sent back to Charleston.
