1862 June 11 near Richmond, Va.

[from the diary of Jonathan B. Hager of the 14th Regulars as copied and annotated at a later date]

June 11  Mem. form my notebook, "Pleasant day. News
from Memphis glorious. Wish we had Richmond,
then the Campaign would be over and we could
see our wives & families"  We didn't get Richmond
howecer this summer & the Campaign didn't end
so soon.
