Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, September 13, 1863

There was regimental inspection this morning with accouterments on and in full dress. Some of the companies have the appearance of a “corporal's guard.” Company E, being on picket, was not on inspection, but later they were relieved. The Thirteenth Iowa went down town to act as a provost guard. Our chaplain having resigned, we have no religious services at present.
