I walked to the Capitol today. In the Supreme Court I found Miss Brooks and Mrs. Everett and as I had nothing to do more interesting, I attended upon them. We went to the House of Representatives. where Mr. E. made a short speech, apparently with a view only to please his wife. It had but little in it. After dinner I went alone to 99Mr. Senator Bouligny’s in Georgetown where my attention was almost exclusively taken up by the same two ladies.2

Dominique Bouligny (1773–1833) served as Louisiana Senator from 1824 to 1829 ( Biog. Dir. Cong. ). A Mr. Coster was also present (D/CFA/1); he was probably John G. Coster, the wealthy New York merchant.
