Thursday – June 5th 1862
Rode out to Head quarters this morning in search
of quarters for us near Genl Magruder but
could find no house or room where we could
be accommodated near the Genl – Visited Mullie
& assisted him in making out the Discriptive
lists which his wounded now begged me to get
for them – Mullie is not yet quite well & looks very
badly – Gave him two bottles champagne which
Cap Mr Harvey sent him – Came back to Mrs Taylors
to dinner & rode into town on one of the Ambu-
-lance horses – Fanny being tired by the
morning ride. Distributed some of the pay
lists among the wounded boys whom I find
doing well, Except Ivey & Strohecker – Went to see
Eben – where I learned from Mr Coffin that Bro
George came on with leave from Charleston – After  
supper with Mr H  went to all the Hotels & at last found Brother G at the Spottswood with Bridges, Jno Wood, & N Wood.  Genl Duncan &   William
other N.O. men – Took him to Mr Harveys for the night – 12 ½ P.M. Logan, Jr
Put up my Poney at Mr Harveys

     also met Mr R. M. Davis
president of the Bank of La. at
the Spottswood – Maj. Lee’s & a No Ca
Battery had a lively shooting match with the
Enemy today from across the Chickahominy
