Regarding a book borrowed from James Parton that has notes written in it by Mort Thomson to Grace Eldredge. Transcription: [indomi]table Fanny [Fern]. As also phonographic ones by Mort Thomson to the effect of 'Gracy [Eldredge] I love you,' 'Dear Gracy etc.' penciled wherever the text becomes passionately amorous.

Met Bob Gun, had lager and wrote something he wanted for the paper. Down town again, to Williams & Stevens, apropos of a photograph [Jesse] Haney wants to present to Sally Edwards Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 10, page 233, May 15-16, 1859 . 15 May 1859.
