Sunday, February 21, 1864
The Thirteenth New Hampshire passed another cold and sometimes snowy week at Camp Gilmore. A few more cases of smallpox broke out in camp. Many of the Thirteenth have volunteered for picket duty as an antidote to tedious camp duties. Five additional commissions in colored regiments were presented to men in the Thirteenth New Hampshire. Today the Thirteenth New Hampshire passed their time in the usual Sunday activities of inspection, dress parade, and religious services. 1
