take part in the first Nv the discusshun.
When arrove they had evrything set
tied, ceptin the appointment of chaplin
for the excurshun. The President in
sisted upon my film that posishun, but
Seward objected. He wanted Beecher,
but johnson was inflexibly agin him. II

There wuz then lively discussion ez
