1862 May 22 Richmond, Va.

[from the diary of Daniel D. Logan, younger brother of General Thomas M. Logan, formerly a Sgt, Co. B, 1st Special Battalion (Rightor's), now with the Hampton Legion]



                        Thursday – May 22d  1862
Violent headache this morning
Went down town at ten o’clock
(not from choice) to see Capt H –
& on my way back fainted
in the streets, fortunately Capt
Rawle was passing & took me into
a drug-store where I soon became
resussicated [resussitated], after which he & one
of Co “B” La Gds brought me home
on their arms – from then until
nine o’c at night I suffered more
with headache than Ever in my
life, fever too, but no chill –
the quinine had Kept it off
but had nearly set my brain
Crazy – I was delirious part the time
Lewis bathed my head all the while
& slept at foot of my bed tonight
Capt H moved to Head quarters today
