Then we went to see the dogs with Major Pond and we had a delightful time seeing so many dogs together; when we got through seeing the dogs papa thought he would go and see General Grant and I went with him--this was April 29, 1885.

Papa went up into General Grant's room and he took me with him, I felt greatly honored and delighted when papa took me into General Grant's room and let me see the General and Col.

Grant, for General Grant is a man I shall be glad all my life that I have seen.

Papa and General Grant had a long talk together and papa has written an account of his talk and visit with General Grant for me to put into this biography.
Susy has inserted in this place that account of mine--as follows: April 29, 1885.
I called on General Grant and took Susy with me.

The General was looking and feeling far better than he had looked or felt for some months.
