Mentions attending Heller's Entertainment. Transcription: February. 1. Tuesday. Drawing till 3 or so, dining at the ?ǣShades, ? meeting [James P.] Neagle, (the bookseller) there, and [John] Gotch on returning. [Alfred] Waud and Field in my room all the afternoon, I going down town with eight drawings on wood, big & little for Picayune, and three for ?ǣLantern, ? done this day or yester even. To ?ǣHeller ?s ? Entertainment in the Evening, having had ticket proffered me with by Price. Ingenious diablerics. [Jean-Eugene] Robert Houdinisms &c. 2. Wednesday. Stirred out not at all, save for meals all the wet, dismal day. Field with me from 11 till 3, dining in company at the Shades, where I met [John] Watson, who told me, first how he had left the Lantern work, they owing him considerably, then that Allie Vernon was working for him ?ǣValentine ? making. Field left after dinner, I drew on. Levy called Waud with me part of the time, and all the evening. Supped at the ?ǣShades ? together at 11 or so, then parted. A perfect deluge of rain plashing down. 3. Thursday. Drawing till 2, dined; then Field called. Down town, at [Cornelius] Mathews, Picayune & Lantern Offices, Wells & Webb ?s.
