In this letter to an unspecified recipient from May 30, 1864, G.W. Logan gives a brief account of some injured soldiers he had visited in a military hospital near Richmond who were also known to the recipient. He also reports on the activity of the Confederate Congress and some of the tasks they were trying to accomplish. The letter closes with reports of the movements of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant's armies near Richmond, with the expectation of a major battle in the near future, and the hope that the current Confederate Congress would be inclined to pursue peace.
