War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Tuesday, November 8. — Election day up North. A vote was held amongst the officers and men. Among the officers Lincoln had 67, McClellan 7. Among men Lincoln was 9 votes ahead. Day cloudy and hot. A regular dog-day. Received some books from Dr. Marks. Some officers were brought in who had escaped from the stockade. Captain Senn said there was a letter for me.
