Walked up to the
camp of the 98th at Meridian Hill with Julia after dinner. Saw
all our officer friends there. Called upon Col Dutton who is sick at the
old Comodore Porter Mansion. He appeared quite sick and was as I thought very
uncomfortable. I invited him down to our house where he could have quiet and
rest for a few days. He declined. Said he would be “all right” in a day or two.
Mr Seward was at the camp of the 103rd German Regt nearby.
We got home before dark, pretty tired.
