Katie came home this morning, looking very well. — Nothing
of special importance in any Department. — Mr. Garrett called expressing great
uneasiness about the B. and O. R. R. and the probable invasion of Western
Virginia if the enemy is not followed up. — Genl. Mason dined with me. He is
extremely anxious to have a trial in the case of Rodney Mason, who was lately
dismissed the service for the surrender of Clarkville. — Received letter from
Mr. Hamilton. He will come on Monday to see the President about Proclamation.
Received a letter from Miss Virginia Smith, asking my
interest for Col. Bulow's appointment as Brigadier; to which I replied that I
would say a good word for the Colonel, and thought the prospect not desperate
as no man is safe, now-a-days, from being made a Brigadier — not even a man of
merit.
