[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]

                        Sunday July 6th 1862      quite warm –
Rose this morning at 8 o’c – breakfasted &
spent the morning with Mr & Mrs Harvey – at ten
o’c went down town & saw some friends at the
Spottswood - & to the Bloomfield’s office where
I spent some hours making out Estimates for money
him for the South Western Army of Genl Ma
-gruder – amounting to 3,000,000 $ for four mo’s [months]
Bloomfield is very anxious for me to go on
with them – I am tired of waiting on the Col of
the 10th La Reg’t, & do not like to be in town
as a day longer than necessary – Dined with
my good friends, & went to Savages farm on the
York railroad this Evening with Mr H & committee
the destruction of property by the Enemy is all
most incredible at this point – muskets,
ammunition, Commis’ stores, rolling stock &c
1500 yankee wounded are left here with some
15 of the surgeons – Lindsay was running the Engine
Returned at dusk with 6 sick Confederate Soldiers
     very warm from 12 M today
