The Santiago arrived
at the Navy Yard, Washington, this day, shortly after meridian. My two sons,
Edgar and Tom, were awaiting our arrival and came off in the boat to receive
us. All were well.
Governor Dennison
and myself called immediately on the President and reported our return. We
found him with a delegation headed by Judge Sharkey from Mississippi,
concerning the subject of reorganizing that State. The President was glad to
receive us, and invited us, after introduction, to participate in the
discussion. Subsequently, after the delegation had withdrawn, we briefly
reported the results of our observation as to the condition and sentiments of
the people of North and South Carolina and Georgia.
Found matters at the
Department had proceeded satisfactorily. Some matters which might have been
disposed of awaited my action.
