On Sunday, the 27th,
I took the President in my carriage, with Postmaster-General Dennison, for a
ride of a couple of hours or more. Went out 14th Street, crossed Rock Creek at
Pease's Mill, thence to Tenallytown, and returned via Georgetown. It was a
pleasant afternoon and we all enjoyed the drive. I think it will do the
President good.
