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. Waldron 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"?
