Date: 1826-12-25
Christmas day, and weather turning exceedingly cold. A family party to dine at my Uncle Frye’s, besides [us], were Mr. and Mrs. Barrel,2 Mr. Crowninshield and Col. Abert.3 I came in after riding with John “par complaisance.” The dinner was good but I was glad to get home as my taste is not dining out excepting perhaps at one or two places.
2. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Barrell, of Washington, D.C.; he was an attorney (
Washington Directory, 1827).
3. Lt. Col. John James Abert (Heitman, Register U.S. Army
).
