Evening Reception at the White House

From a painting probably by Francis B. Carpenter. The date was
March 1, 1864, when General Grant, coming to Washington to
receive his commission as Lieutenant General, was the hero of the
occasion. Grant stands next to Lincoln, who is greeting Mrs.
Grant. At the extreme left is William H. Seward, Secretary of
State. In the center is secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase,
with his daughter Kate. To the immediate right of Lincoln is
Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War, and still further to the right
(profile with white whiskers) is Gideon Welles, Secretary of the
Navy. The second figure to the right of Welles is Simon Cam-
eron, ex-Secretary of War, and next to him Montgomery Blair,
Postmaster General. In the right foreground is Mrs. Lincoln sit-
ting with General Scott
