Mentions Sol Eytinge's desire to leave the boarding house and Rawson Gill's return from Nicaragua. Transcription: Poor creature [Allie Vernon]. What a life! what a conclusion! Her late paramour Sol Eytinge seems not much troubled by it. He consorts with [Frank] Cahill, appears but little at table and talks of giving up his basement quarters, but hasn ?t energy enough to mention his desire to Mrs [Catharine] Potter. I think I might live two centuries in the same house with him without any desire to renew our acquaintance. I hear nothing from Alf Waud, in spite of my urgent entreaty for necessary information about my drawings. He ?ll write ? when he wants something done. Rawson Gill has returned from Nicaragua. Country unsettled in consequence of [William] Walkerizations ? and his mother [Elizabeth Gouverneur] didn ?t sent him any money. She was ?ǣgoing to, ? though. [Frank] Pounden is a father. Leapt out of a big Broadway sleigh to tell me so, and dined with me subsequently. Wrote to mine own dear Hannah [Bennett] on the day and next one to that on which I got her letter. Called on [Frank] Bellew twice. Not very well of late, and wearyish. Saw the Jewell ?s this morning, being summoned by window tapping as I passed. Met [Alfred] Swinton some three days back. He has a farm in the interior of Staten Island now, does some wood-pecking but more agriculturalizing. Wrote to Andrew asking for information about cuts.
