[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]



                        Monday – June 2d 1862
We were up this morning at four o’c
ready for the enemy attack, which they
did not make however – at seven
o’c we moved to the rear marching
abt qr mile beyond the church where we went
into the woods & bivouacked.  At noon I left
Mullie there being no prospect of a fight –
returned to Capt Harrisons & in the afternoon I
went to town in search of  Ebin Coffin who was
sent in wounded yesterday morning – Visited a
large number of Hospitals, but failed to find
him   saw nearly all of Mullies Co. but they
could not say where Ebin, McEllroy & Roux
went.  I must have walked ten miles in town today
but without success.  Spent this night at Mr              
Harveys – Found Capt Harrison very unwell
today – Mr Harvey did not get in until
very late from his farm – No letters yet from
N.O. or Charleston – The Hospital[s] are crowded with young
& old women nursing & tending the wounded Soldiers –

 [Lt. James McElroy; Henry Roux of Co. A, Hampton Legion]
