Went with Thede
over to Uncle Jones'. Stayed till after dinner. Visited with boys. Saw Will and
Terrell play billiards. Introduced to Mrs. Case. Col. Purington asked me in to
see his wife. In the evening officers presented Mrs. P. with a silver tea
service. $3.00 per man. Wine, etc. Didn't indulge. Saw the Arabs perform—great
feats.
