I did a very ungallant thing by "charging on a column" of ladies. But it was a great mistake.
After the review we all rode to Alexandria and did not return until about seven. Immediately took tea and then went up to the concert of Genl. Newton's. A great time. Shall always remember it. Maldron [?] is a queer fellow. Cupid in his round about declining the proffered stool it was graciously occupied by the gallant Purdy. Miss Dean and Miss Ohehoe, and several gentlemen furnished the singing [?] and altogether the entertainment was very acceptable. Shall I ever forget that inimitable rendering of "Old Grimes"?
