Pleasant day. I rode early with my father to the Capitol and thence down to seventh Street where I stopped to call at Mrs. Latimer’s for 34Davis. Found him sitting with A. H. Everett and after a short talk we went down to call upon Mr. Clay. Found him alone and had quite an agreeable visit. He led the conversation to Mr. Webster in a way somewhat curious, and appeared to be sounding Davis’ own opinions. We left him and went round to call upon Mr. Rives. I was induced to this by a very civil invitation of his when I met him yesterday as I was returning from the Capitol. He was not at home. I then parted from Davis and returned home, where I joined my Mother and Wife in making visits in the Carriage. We called upon Mrs. Madison, and my Aunts Mrs. Frye and Mrs. Smith whom we found at home, and left cards with Mrs. Forsyth and Mrs. Poinsett. Returned after a short ride and a little shopping. Dinner and evening at home.
