Lincoln and his wife Mary host a dinner party at their home for several guests, including Thomas Corwin, a Republican congressman from Ohio and former governor of that state, and Lyman Trumbull, a United States senator from Illinois. Later in the evening, David Davis, judge of Illinois's eighth judicial circuit, and Illinois Secretary of State Ozias M. Hatch pay a visit to the Lincoln home as well. Davis wrote to his wife the following day and offered his impressions of his evening at the Lincolns': "Mrs. Lincoln seemed in high feather. Mr. Lincoln looked as if he had a heavy responsibility resting on him. The cares & responsibility of office will wear on him." Regarding Mary Lincoln, Davis added, "I don't think she would ever mesmerise any one. I am in hopes that she will not give her husband any trouble." David Davis to Sarah W.
