Diary:
May 10-Saturday
Went on quite a tramp with one Wheeler
an informer to find Guns and numerous implements of war. traveled
about 5 miles in the hot sun to Thos. Griswold’s and Luther Holmes
Foundry’s searched them through but found nothing. found several
pieces of U.S. Machinery (so Wheeler says) but it is to solid and
heavy to move without machinists help. then went to a dwelling house
and found 264 Calvary Saber Scabbards. 78 blades and a number of
Hilts that is all we succeeded in finding at this time. I think
Wheelers is a humbug.
While I was away Capt Shipley on an
order from Gen Butler took possession of the Consul of the
Netherlands office, in Hope Insurance Office and found 170 kegs of
spices belonging to Confederate Government.
Our company relieved by a company of
the 31st Regiment. everything remains quiet in the city and stores
are opening a little. think business will soon revive.
