what we did. I think that Jack Johnston, my cousin, came along, with at least one of his boys. At least, if we didn't start dinner together, we ended up together. They'd had a very funny time getting rooms. We all joined up before dinner was over. It was all sort of hilarious, because everybody had had this funny time getting a place to stay. That's all kind of unclear.

I was trying to figure out what to do next. There had come to me from somebody this order of Inauguration Day. The inauguration would take place at eleven o'clock in front of the Capitol. There was a ticket for me on the stand back of the president. There was a ticket for my daughter in the distinguished visitors' section, which is not on the platform. I had those and instructions as to how those who were to go on the stand were to go through the Capitol, proceeding through the statuary Hall. That was all printed out, by the inauguration committee I Presume. At least you knew where you were to go and how you were to go there.

They also informed me that there was to be an inauguration ball on inauguration night in a place I had never heard of, the old Uline Arena, not the present one. I didn't know where that was either, but I assumed that it was a proper ballroom. I knew those two things I was supposed to do.
