Richmond Va
30th May 1864
Dear Sir:
A few days
ago I visited Camp Winder
a Hospital near this place
& saw some of your countrymen
& gained the following information
of casualties in the late battle
G.S. Ferguson was wounded
in the head, not serious
M. Main [?] in the elbow
L.W. Murray, in the side
H.P. Holland in the hand
T.M. Green in the arm
The above are the only
ones I have heard from.
I am sorry I cannot
write you something of interest
Congress has done but very

little, nor do I think it will
do much. We are trying to
modify the Tax T_____ and
impressment laws but I cannot
as yet tell the result.
Genl Lee has fallen
back near this place & it
is believed his army will
soon be within the entrench
ments surrounding the City.
It is said Gen Grant is
now coming up on the old
ground of McClelland &
will unite with _____. Both
armys are reinforcing largely [?]
& the next fight is expected
to be the great battle of the
War. In the late engage
-- ments the loss on both sides
was immense, our loss must
have been in Killed wounded
& prisoners at least 20 or --
25.0000 & the Yankees more than

double that number.
There is but little ap
-- pearance of Peace, though
the present Congress is much
stronger for negotiations than
the preceding one.
The Dis_______
are determined not to have
peace only in their own
way & at their own time.
Very Respectfully
G.W. Logan
