Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ...the organ, and the singing was excellent. Major Bowen and Captain Al. Newlin were there, and scores of others whom 1 shook hands with. Major Biddle and I spent half an hour in Bowen's tent. At 4 we dined in General Meade's tent, with none others but Major-General Humphreys and Colonel Lyman, of Boston, chief of staff. It was as charming a dinner-party as you can imagine. We (all but Colonel Lyman) sat with General Meade till 10 o'clock, and then left, --I for the large tent prepared for me, where I am now writing after a good night's rest.

Last evening General Meade sent for a man who came in yesterday morning--one of those officers who escaped from the Libby prison. He sat with us more than an hour, giving a very interesting account of his escape, and how he made his way through the enemy's lines. But I have no time to write more. Ever your affectionate father, B. Dorr. Captain W. W. Dorr. No. 173. Price Street, Tuesday, Midnight, March 1st, 1864. Dear William: I ought to be in bed now, but I cannot retire until I drop you a few lines. I wrote you the morning I left headquarters a hurried letter, to say how much disappointed we were not to have you with us on Sunday. I hope you will take the earliest opportunity to go up there and ask Major Biddle to introduce you to General Meade; I am sure he will be greatly pleased to see you. Ask also to be introduced to General Humphreys and General Patrick, both very agreeable. The former travelled over Europe the same year that we did, visited the same places, and saw many of the same persons. Mr. Van Buren he met often. I have told him and the others all about you, and they will greet you...
