A very perceptible
change of weather since yesterday. Had a call from Rev. Mr. Boynton, who
proposes to write a history of the Navy during the great Rebellion. Had half an
hour's conversation. Made various suggestions.
General (Commander)
Carter,1 a naval officer to whom I gave leave in the summer of 1861
to enter the army, called and proposes to relinquish the army appointment and
return to his old profession.
