Question 10: For the last hour I have been watching President Lincoln and General McClellan as they sat
together in
earnest conversation on the deck of a steamer closer to us. I am thankful, I am happy, that the
President
has come--has sprung across the dreadful intervening Washington, and come to see and hear and
judge
for his own wise and noble self. While we were at dinner someone said, "Why, there's the President!"
and
he proved to be just arriving on the Ariel, at the end of the wharf. I stationed myself at once to watch
for
the coming of McClellan. The President stood on deck with a glass, with which, after a time, he
inspected
our boat, waving his handkerchief to us. My eyes and soul were in the direction of the general
headquarters, over which the great balloon was slowly descending.
