Page 107: April 25,, 1p.m. The General has just returned from a short call and says Gen. Franklin and Genl. Newton are to dine 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.” |
