MARCH 1864 Enter the Lieutenant General. [Elihu B.] Washburne had the pleasure of delivering Grant's commission as Lieutenant General into the hero's own hand; but he might have saved the journey which he took for that urpose, as Grant arrived in this city last evening about dusk. He went very quietly to Willard's, and it was not until he had half-finished his dinner that people knew that he was in town. As soon as it was discovered that he was at the table, eating his dinner, just like ordinary mortals, there was a shout of welcome from all present, an immense cheer going up from the crowd in the dining-room. [Noah Brooks LINCOLN OBSERVED DISPATCHES & LETTERS, 103-4]

Leaning on the arm of Mr. Seward, Mary Lincoln entered the Willard Hotel, and Messrs. Willard greeted her in person. Upstairs, the president-elect sprawled in an armchair with a beaming face, while two spoiled boys Willie and Tad, climbed over him. Lincoln had had a busy afternoon. A tide of visitors populated Parlor Number 6.
