Sunday, September 20, 1863
After a day of intense rain followed by high winds tents collapsed throughout Camp Gilmore. The Thirteenth New Hampshire spent a fairly quiet week in camp with the exception of the capture of spies lurking in the woods near camp. On Saturday six men of the Thirteenth New Hampshire marched eight miles to and from Portsmouth in a heavy rain to witness a court martial.1
