Busy, except when interrupted by callers, with list
of Collectors and Asessors. Saw Chandler and Gov. Blair at President's, and
closed Michigan appointments. President insisted on Stanley, to save
Trowbridge's feelings, instead of Mills, whom I recommended as best man; and
Chandler and Blair concurred — none of us, however, knowing Stanley.
Thurlow Weed dined with me. Parsons was at home, but had dined,
and went away. After dinner, left Weed at Willard's, where I went to call on
Colonels Corcoran and Wilcox, returned yesterday from their long captivity in
Richmond. They had gone to dine at the President's; and I went to Mr. Cutts'
and spent an hour with Mr. C. and Mrs. D.
