Diary of Salmon P. Chase: Sunday, September 21, 1862

At home to-day, under orders from Dr. F. — Mr. Montgomery of Philadelphia dined with us. — Called on Harrington, to have Dr. F. go to see Gen. Hooker, if possible. Harrington made arrangements. — Towards sun-down, called at Mrs. C's to enquire for Mrs. D., and was much gratified to find her so far recovered as to be in the parlor. — Mr. Montgomery went to church with Katie. — Bannister, Taylor and others called.

Dr. F. spoke of having been to the President's, who being very busy writing, could not see him.
Thought to myself, “Possibly engaged on Proclamation.”
