Washington 11mo 28/64

My dear daughter

Make the
[shout?] soon as thee can.
I shall be at home the coming
lunch and I think I shall
go to Boston, certainly I will
if it would be the slightest
comfort to dear Mrs Sedgwick
who has [always?] had so much
of my love & admiration

I am delightfully
at home at the "Canary
nest" as Mrs Johnsons home
is called. Have had a
most successful time, and have
done a deal of work. So they
tell me, & it is time

I hope William
enjoys these lovely days, so
like spring, though I would
ask for myself colder weather

Will is like himself & I hope will remain
so, as I should not know him otherwise
The Doctor dear as ever, likes to hear
[Mary Sarpery?], and has lost some of his
peculiarities. [Farewell?] is great book
have the eleventh hour appreciated to see
senator Wilson at his room. I had a
most satisfactory talk with [?] who
questioned me closely about the Point
and of course I spoke the truth. [Dr Hoseboom?]
became disgusted & left, it speaks
well for him. The Wooleys are doing splendidly
at Fairfax. I was at Arlington again on
third day.
