Washington City July 12, 1847

My Dear Wife,

I wrote you on yesterday and after closing my day's labourwrite again tonight, not that I have anything of interest to communicate, but to comply with my promise and to let you know how much I miss you in the White House. When I went down to breakfast this morning none of the family appeared. They are all fine-sleepers except Wm. Polk's wife who is an early riser. I asked Henry, if he had notified them. He answered, yes sir, but things were a heap straighter when Miss Sarah was here, and so I thought. I gave a small dinner party to William's wife today. It consisted of Mr. Buchanan, Mr. and Mrs. Mason, Mr. and Mrs. Marcy, Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Senator Downs of Louisiana and two young ladies who came with him, Judge Wadswroth of N. York, and one or two other gentlemen. The dinner was well got up. Bauman you know would attend to that.
