Describes an incident between Mort Thomson and Barney Williams. Transcription: Mort Thomson shows the White Feather. the ?ǣpatriot ? which pretence Meagher threw cold water on. It was then he [Fitz James O ?Brien] lied about having written for ?ǣHousehold Words ? pointing out certain stories, which subsequently appeared in book-form, in with the real author ?s name on the title-page. [Charles] Briggs told [Jesse] Haney of this, long ago. Story about of Barney Williams menacing Mort Thomson, who had written adverse criticism or in coarse taste about William ?s wife. Barney accosted Mort at a theatre, told him he wouldn ?t strike him, because he, Mort, knew Williams to be a wealthy man and would make money of it, but if there were any one word which would provoke Mort to give occasion for being licked, by taking the initiative in a fight, he Williams would apply it to him. Furthermore he shook his glove in Mort ?s face and asked him whether he possessed any of the ?ǣPluck ? he lectured about. So its said. 15. Sunday. Writing till dinner-time. After, doze, then to Weehawken with [George] Boweryem, returning by 8. To Edwards ?. The family, [Charles] Honeywell and [Jesse] Haney there, presently [James] Morris. Mattie [Edwards] in a new silvery-gray mohair frock, with ?ǣbishop-sleeves, ornamented at the shoulders with dark green buttons, with blue or decorations like leaves rising from her ?ǣdainty, dainty waist, surely one of the prettiest of ?ǣpretty virginities. ?
