Dick Bolton is in Brooklyn, and has been calling on me, twice, thrice during my absence. [Alfred] Swinton visited me; paid him for wood cuts. Met [Hugh] Forbes in at [Thomas] Paterson's Office ? (the smaller ex-European one.) He abused Russell and spake of his daughters returning to Europe. Mrs [Celina] Jewell has called. She and her daughter [Miss Celina Jewell] are living in Wooster Street, the latter sick. Lastly, on Friday night, [Henry] Hart and Dillon Mapother called, having that day arrived from the west. 27. Saturday. Mostly in company with Hart and Dillon, with occasional rushes into the R. R. R office for money ? which I got towards the afternoon. (This completes the $70 for Autobiography of Stomach.) Had a bathe with Dillon and Hart, at the Battery. 28. Sunday. With D and H to Jersey, where we had appointed to go for a day ?s sail with Miller the Lithographer, in his boat. But Miller had put off, whereat Dillon grumbled. All to Staten Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 8, page 196, June 23-28, 1857 . 26 June 1857. Gunn, Thomas Butler, 1826-1903
