My birthday. So it is Pres'h Abram Lincoln's. Set out for Mount Vernon with brother Charles by the way of Alexandria and on horseback. Magnificent day. As we journeyed on I pointed out to C. the various camps we had occu-pied while in this vicinity, where we had picketed, and forts we helped build. We took the Old Mount Vernon Road, the same one Lafayette took when he visited there - as Mrs. Whitney told us. Mrs. W. who lives in sight of this hallowed spot and who knew me at once although I had never spoken with her before last summer [inserted] and then for the first time, prepared supper for us on our return.
We raced many times and each time "Jeff" would lead.
