Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Lemuel A. Abbott: Tuesday, March 1, 1864

Commenced hailing about midnight and has continued to alternate with it and rain all day; trees and shubbery ice-covered and the day has been dismal; not as much cannonading as yesterday; relieved from picket about 6 p. m. by the Third Brigade; marched to camp on the pike.
