Tuesday, March 4. — I found that my horse had cast a shoe yesterday, so that I was obliged to have one put on this morning by the farrier at Martin’s Battery. General Porter returned this morning from Washington. I received an invitation from General Butterfield yesterday to attend Miss Chase’s reception, but as General Porter did not go, I thought it hardly worth the while. James went to Washington to-day, and bought himself a pair of boots, etc.
