Regarding Allie Vernon and her sister Josey Winship visiting Mort Thomson's wife, Anna, and the controversy it has caused among their acquaintances. Transcription: down the Tribune stairs. He [Horace Greeley] has the kindest face of any man in New York. An anecdote of [Fitz James] O ?Brien ? characteristic, too. Talking with Sol Eytinge the other day O ?B spoke of Willis () saying ?ǣHe ?s rather sick ? I dined with him yesterday. ? Subsequently Sol met [Thomas Bailey] Aldrich (of the ?ǣHome Journal ?) who casually mentioned that he had on that same yesterday introduced O ?B to Willis! Only a few common places passed! There may be a jolly row apropos of Mrs Allie ?Eytinge. ? She and her chaste sister Josey [Winship] have got the entree to the Doesticks ?.

So he had to belie his recent assertion by shaking hands with Allie! Going to [James] Parton ?s he told them what had happened. Fanny [Fern] knows all about Sol ?s domestic relations (I suppose Haney told Parton, and he told her) and declared that she won ?t visit the Thomson ?s if these strumpets are liable to drop in, when her daughters [Ellen and Grace Eldredge] are there. Quite right too, by Jove. Fancy that good, frank, honest-hearted Grace cheek by
