Regarding news about boarders who have left his boarding house. Transcription: wig, who [Mr. Banker] is getting out a Sewing Machine, has travelled over-land to California, goes to hear Cora Hatch ?s rot and [] Chapin ?s sermons. He ?s something of a friend to little Miss [Sarah Louise] Maguire, and I like him on account of his good humor. Johnson ? an acquaintance of Wall ?s, (who didn ?t report too favorably of him) ? is one of the five ex-boarders. He was ?ǣclerk ? or salesman in a clothing store, as are two thirds of the young fellows you encounter in boarding-houses. I can ?t say I admire their general characteristics. They read little and that little hardly above the Ledger literature, they are generally on the Herald side of public questions, they play billiards, they drink and they whore. Chiefly they believe in money-making and look forwards to traffic as the nobles of human objects. Seldom do you hear a manly, an individual remark from them. Certain thefts in the house expedited their departure, overcoats &c were missing. Mrs B. [Susan Boley] suspects one of the party, I know him and think it not unlikely. The man ?s in the house now. We have other woman boarders. A Miss Trank [Cecilia Trainque], seamstress or something of the sort, has superseded little Miss Maguire in sharing Mrs Palmer ?s room, next to mine.
