Describes several stories about Thomas Nast heard from Frank Cahill. Transcription: [Thomas] Nast has the Courage of his Opinions. enemies, but for the keeping it out of asinine hands. I like [William] Newman, and think there may be safety in him. Writing. Down-town in the afternoon, called at W. Leslie ?s, ?ǣNic-nax, ? ?ǣCourier ? &c. A sunny, pleasant day. Came upon Tom Strong in Houston Street, looking at some buildings of his erection, anon [George] Arnold and [] Shepherd. [Jesse] Haney supped with us, having walked up with [Frank] Bellew and [Frank] Cahill. In my room. To 14th Street, saw [Henry] Addey and Newman ? Rosenberg there. With Newman to Bellew ?s and there till 10. The ?ǣVanity Fair ? corps are temporarily (?) subjected to half saler prices, Frank Thompson has seceded and another ?ǣpermanent basis ? is discovered. Cahill went to Mort Thomson ?s house this evening to call on Clif [Thomson]. Seeing [Edward] Welles, they got talking about little Nast and Wells mentioned two funny anecdotes of Tommy. Mrs. [Sophia] Thomson, when talking of the Edwards ? girls [Sally, Matty, and Eliza], gave the intellectual precedence to Sally, when little Nast, got up, made her a bow and thanked her! Being goodnaturedly asked why he hadn ?t visited his friends recently, he said conceitedly he found friends ?ǣdidn ?t pay ? ? he was going to be independent &c. &c. If he do get presented at court, as they are trying to effect (!) what an edifying spectacle he ?ll be on his return to New York!
