War diary and letters of Stephen Minot Weld

Thursday, October 20. — Received a letter from Mr. Garesché, saying that he had taken steps to find out Colonel Greene’s residence. Captain Amory received a letter from his mother and one by mistake from Ned Boit, intended for William Amory’s son, alluding to Charlie Bowditch. Lieutenant Belcher brought in a list of names from Richmond, of officers who had money there, in the hands of Quartermaster Moffatt. Mine was among them. A man escaped to-day by jumping over the fence behind the privy. Day pleasant.
