1 P.M.
The General has just returned from a short call and says Gen. Franklin and Genl. Newton are to drive with us. I anticipate a pleasant event.
This morning I received a letter from Edward and a copy of Lion's Advocate -- both all the more welcome because it is so long since I have received any such thing.
-- later --
Genl's Franklin and Newton are now here and we are having an interesting conversation. For dinner we have a banquet. Genl. Kearney would call it "regal," and speak of it as an instance of "oriental magnificence."
