Reached Pittsburg at 2 P. M. Left on Cleveland train at 3.
Pittsburg in mourning. Rode in company with a Cleveland man, Briggs, I believe.
Pleasant visit. Gave me a detail of the working of the carrier P. O. system.
Passed through Cleveland at 10 P. M. Stayed over at Grafton. The funeral of the
President took place today. Ceremonies throughout the Union. Johnson bound to
deal roughly with traitors.
