“Grace Greenwood, Mrs. Lippencott of literary renown, has been our guest for the past two days.”–Diary of Josiah Marshall Favill.

February 27th. Grace Greenwood, Mrs. Lippencott of literary renown, has been our guest for the past two days. She came to lecture before the officers and their friends of the division and is quartered and will remain for two weeks with us. She is most fascinating in her conversation and manner and is a valuable acquisition at the breakfast table, full of anecdotes, wit, and bon mots all carefully arranged and kept in readiness for the proper occasion. After the lecture we clear the floor for dancing, and there is “revelry by night,” invariably till twelve o’clock. Hobart, Wilson, Broom, and I are standing floor managers and are always receiving more or less agreeable attention.
