Diary of US patent clerk Horatio Nelson Taft.
    

“Sent a line to the President by H N Jr — requesting a private interview. Will see him in the morning 1/2 past 8 o’clock.”—Horatio Nelson Taft

THURSDAY 22

Another rainy day. Went down to the Provost Marshalls Office, great crowd there for passes across the River. Saw Capt Fowler and Capt [Huron?] there (of the 12 Regt). Sent a line to the President by H N Jr — requesting a private interview. Will see him in the morning 1/2 past 8 o’clock. Was at home most of the day, but at the Pat office awhile. The 3rd Regt of the Regular Army is now on Franklin Square.
