Unsure when he will leave; mentions visiting sights in New York City (Wood's minstrels, Barnum's Museum, theatre). Writes that Grant's name "got a tolerably good cheer (and I helped him on that) and then he got a good many hisses. But when McClellan's name came up he got a big cheer and then I helped hiss him, I did. But Fremonts couldnt get a single thing but hisses."
