Had a very good night's rest. Up early. Pleasant visit with
an Indiana man. Several Southern ladies on board the boat. Great gloom in
Washington. Excitement very high. Went to White House and viewed the President's
remains in state. Everybody on the alert to discover the conspirators. Drew pay
for January and February. Took the evening train via Harrisburg. Read papers
and slept. The whole nation in mourning. All business places draped.
