Describes talking with Lotty at her boarding house about her new marriage. Transcription: was at Baltimore, Washington, New Orleans ? here and there, playing, and singing. Madame Marguerites she knew as instructress in singing. [Arthur] Alleyne too, is a singer and actor. He is 30, bald-headed, an Englishman, has been a roue, and (she ?s says) is passionately fond and jealous of her. He ?ǣwould go to the devil, if she left him. ? They have lived in Canada, and been poor enough at times. She doesn ?t pretend to love him, but says she might have starved, but for him. [John] Whytal is out west, of course not knowing of her second marriage. Alleyne at present has no engagement, and expects money from England. The house they reside in is a lodging house, Jack Hardenbrock (now reporter to the Tribune) being a lodger also. Lotty keeps up communication with her father [William Kidder], who has, also, married again. She also corresponds with her brother Will [Kidder], but talks denunciatory of her mother [Rebecca Morse]. Her face is but little changed. We talked for some two hours or so in the parlor of the lodging house, not without emotion, and I saw her to the Wallacks at 7 1/2. Alleyne was above, and, she reported, jealous and angry at my visit. 7. Thursday. Writing and drawing. To Franklin Street again, at 5, ? the house is scarcely a stone ?s throw from Mrs K ?s old Beach Street residence ? and another two hours talk with Lotty.
