Synopsis
Excerpt from Diary of Gideon Welles, Vol. 1: Secretary of the Navy Under Lincoln and Johnson
I''r was the custom of my father all his life to keep a diary. He was a prolific writer on political subjects and his even ings were generally spent with his pen in his hand. When in Washington, it was his habit in the evening, after the family had retired, to devote his time to writing in the diary. His public duties at that period gave him no time to devote to the miscellaneous writings to which he had been accustomed. But in the diary are expressed his views on public men and measures, not only of the day but also those gathered throughout his public life. It was a relaxa tion to him to write in fact, being thoroughly accustomed to it, it was a pleasure.
The question of the publication of this diary has caused me much serious re?ection. It is an unreserved expres sion of what was from day to day in the mind of the writer. He probably thought that it would be useful as a record of the events of the time. Certainly he did not think it would be wholly unheeded.
