Cars ready and off at 10 A. M. Got to Washington at 4 P. M.
Rode to 6th St. wharf and made arrangements for transportation to Giesboro.
Rather disappointed in the city of which I have read so much, where so many
great men have congregated, where so much treason has been plotted, inhuman
laws made. Penn. Ave. is a moderately pretty street, but otherwise the city
seems the poorest I was ever in. The capitol is grand, massive, grounds
beautiful.
