[from the diary of Daniel D. Logan, younger brother of Genl. Thomas M. Logan and and a Sergeant, Co. B, 1st Special Battalion (Rightor's), Louisiana Infantry]
Another wet & cold day –
Spend all day in the house until
dress parade – Read & played
chess most of the day – beat
Harry three straight games – Had roll
calls today, the rain holding up –
I begin to feel restless about getting
my furlough – these inactive days
are terrible – I am more anxious than
Ever to go to N.O. Took a sketch
of myself today to send my niece
Isabel – I am almost tempted to
write a letter today to Somebody,
& have made up my mind to do
leave today
[Isabella Anna Logan, dau. of
Joseph Glover Logan (diarist’s
brother) and Sarah Caroline
Fluker Logan of Asphodel]
