[from the diary of Daniel D. Logan, younger brother of General Thomas M. Logan, and a Sgt., Co. B, 1st Special Battalion (Rightors's), Louisiana Infantry]
Biglors Wharf Friday – March 7th 1862
Rose at seven o’clock – Handed the Company
over to Garrett [or “Garnett”] this morning & left camp
at 11 o’c for Williamsburg, from whence
Roberts & I came to Biglors wharf
where we will take the Stboat Logan in
the morning for Yorktown – he goes to get his
transfer to Moseleys Co. Richmond Howitzers –
& I go to see Genl Magruder on some
particular business – of which more anon.
I have a pass to the 9th – While in Wmsburg
Saw Col Rightor, Dr Jennings & McClung
just returned from New Orleans – The Col
says that the men “must reenlist or they
are disgraced” – He brings me no letters.
Says Ogden & Huger will be on in a few day’s –
Met at Biglors – Martin Harvey, Davis,
Randolph, Mayo, & Baker of the Howitzers – Put
up at Mrs Johnsons. No news in todays paper from
the seat of war.
Martin Luther Harvey, John Mayo, Thomas Robert Baker, all of the Howitzers.
