Department of State
Washington, March 6 th
My dear Mother,
The Republican
Cabinet is installed today and
I write you from the room formerly
occupied by the South Carolina
Assistant Secretary
Birth: 1842-11-10 Death: 1898-05-04
who
“seceded” with his State. My father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
has been overwhelmed with visitors
all the morning, and will be
probably for some days to come
We are waiting to hear how the
country receives the Inaugural
and the Cabinet. Washington
affords very little reliable indica-
tion. It is all Republican now
as it was all Democratic two
months ago.
Will
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
and Col.
Carpenter
Birth: 1821 Death: 1885-10-25
are looking at the various
of horses that have been
offered to Father. Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
is returning accumulated visits
Mr Blatchford
Birth: 1820-03-09 Death: 1893-07-07
is expected tonight when Will’s business is to discussed
and arranged if possible
Affectionately your son
Frederick
