The event of the day
has been the Funeral of the gallant Genl Lander. It took place at the
Epiphany church, starting from the Residence of Sec'y Chase. The family (ours)
all went. Mrs Doct Barnes & Julia were at the office. I went up into the
Hospital with them. They were out to see the procession pass. Mrs O Knight
called this evening. Prof Sparks was here an hour. Edwd Dickerson
called and he and Julia went to the great Gotschalk concert at Willards Hall,
returned about 10½ o'clock. It has been dry but quite Cool today. The roads are
getting better. No news from over the River and no advance as yet.
