Tomlinson writes to her sister, in part: " … We are invited to dine with the President today. We, at first, thought of declining owing to ill health, but the weather is delightful today again, as warm as spring. We are well comparatively speaking, and we really have no apology to offer. This is about one of his first parties. I believe he has given one to the Foreign ministers and Heads of Department. Mr. & Mrs. Lay are invited to night; Mr. Knight and Mr. Frelinghuysen are to go on Thursday … " Tomlinson continues to write the following morning: "We went to the Presidents yesterday. The Party was the largest he will probably give this winter. The old General appeared in very good spirits. The ladies were very much dressed and made a splendid show. The Table was filled almost to crowding. I could hear some sly words among the Gentlemen about big sleeves … "Our letter's author, Sarah Tomlinson, was the wife of Connecticut Senator Gideon Tomlinson (1780-1854).
