[from the diary of Daniel D. Logan, younger brother of General Thomas M. Logan and a sergeant, Co. B, 1st Special Battalion (Rightor's) Louisiana Infantry]
Saturday – February 8th 1862
It rained all last night & the
weather is wet & rainy again today –
Spent the day in doors – reading &
playing chess – Amused myself
by cutting wood for an hour today –
Mr. Hagard [or Hazard] got off today for
Richmond – I rec’d a letter from
Kate today, enclosing me one to
send Mrs Roy from Maggie[Margaret Anne Logan], they
both thank me for sending my letter
from her for them to read – Spent
the evening with Fay in his office –
I feel sad today – at the prospects
of staying here until April – My
ideas are to go home & see my friends –
& endeavor to make some arrangements
to go into the service by the first of April.
Kate [Katherine Mc Neil Logan]mentions that somebody is at [-]
