The Thirteenth New Hampshire spent most of their week in drills, which now consumed at least five hours of every day. Today Colonel Aaron Stevens departed from Camp Gilmore, traveling to Concord, New Hampshire to procure new recruits. This evening a violent thunderstorm, producing high winds, rain, hail, and lightning, exacted heavy damage on buildings and earthworks at Camp Gilmore.1
