Very pleasant but colder than yesterday; have been hard at
work all day with some men decorating the chapel with evergreens, etc.; got
some help from the ladies; reception and dancing this evening. General J. B.
Carr and lady were present and other distinguished guests. Captain Samuel
Darrah was floor manager. Captain E. B. Frost looked after the supper;
brilliant party.
