Sunday, July 26, 1863
The Thirteenth New Hampshire Regiment spent their Sunday in camp in the usual fashion for inspection and picket duty. During the last week court martial cases had taken place for those that had deserted during the recent "Blackberry Raid." The weather remained exceedingly hot. Today one thermometer registered 108 degrees in the shade and another thermometer registered 126 degrees in the full sunshine.1
