[from the diary of Daniel D. Logan, younger brother of Thomas M. Logan and a Sergeant, Co. B, 1st Special Battalion (Rightor's) Louisiana Infantry]
Sunday – February 16th 1862
Ground white with Snow this morning –
It was too wet today for any drill –
Spent the day as usual – wasted
most of it – played chess with Harry
& Norcum – the former has won the present
tournament – Wrote a letter to Mr
Harvey tonight introducing John D
Capt Smith to him, also wrote
to Father acknowledging receipt of
his letter to Mrs Roy – also sent to him
for some books on Artilery & some post-
-age stamps – The snow melted today
& has left the ground wet &miserable –
Sent another furlough to Yorktown today
by Captain Collins – my last effort
for one – Norwell Logan had a chill
yesterday –
