Stearns just came in, advanced to Godkin presenting his hand. G. rose & took his hand in a most courteous way, with a smile. Stearns’ eyes fell and he said; “How do you [do] Mr G. I am glad to see you”—Then I pushed in and presented business and so it was well over. They have been in easy conversation since.
