Virginia Reconstruction Meeting and General Lee Visit
A lengthy public examination of commissioners concluded with Governor Palmer defending integrity and endorsing discretion in office removals. General Lee met President Grant at the White House for a private half hour discussing Virginia’s reconstruction, disfranchisement, and restoration, with Lee urging fair voting and separate consideration of proscriptions. The exchange signaled cross later support for Virginia’s restoration and highlighted ongoing political maneuvering amid postwar tension.

Reconstruction talk and aging headlines at a large crowd
A brisk crowd awaited the President with evident indignation at Lee's ahead position. Reports claim Lee spoke on reconstruction in Virginia, criticizing local politicians as corrupt, and Grant may have asked Lee to act as a Cuba envoy. Other notes mention a new Masonic Temple dedication, a college endowment, real estate transfers in Chicago, railroad talks, and local crime reports.
