His father [John Whytal] has been there, was indeed in the room when I came, albeit I knew it not, till afterwards Lotty told me. She sang very sweetly this night. Talk with one of the old boarders at Mrs Leave ?s [48 Franklin St.], whom I met there. Mrs K concocted some excellent milk punch, and altogether it was a pleasant finale to the day. 14. Thursday. Drawing till 1. A letter from [William] Barth. Down town, to Lockingtons, towards Dickinsons, when I met an individual whom I had seen at Wilkins ? in Brooklyn, when I visited him there. He was very particular in his inquiries about them, and after accompanying him some distance, (in the rain) I took him to [John B.] Holmes ?. / Called at Engravers, then dined, then to Lantern, then Reveille Offices ? through pouring rain all the way. Hose purchasing &c, then to room. Supped at Sweeneys, called at [Frank] Royals, back to room. Wrote letter to [William] Barth.
