Regarding Frank Cahill being appointed editor of Nick Nax. Transcription: [Frank] Cahill ?ǣeditor ? of ?ǣNic-nax. ? don ?t understand) and creates an impression, that he [James Morris] is ?ǣtoo good ? as little [Sarah] Maguire used to say. Then he disappoints ?em into the conviction that he ?s a failure and ?ǣdeceitful, ? or gets tiffed into retiring on his sensibility. The small, thin nectar of his disposition is apt to sour into as thin vinegar on little provocation, I find. Very funny all of this! Amiability plus weakness isn ?t much, anyway! Cahill, installed this week as editor of ?ǣNic-nax, ? thinks privately that Mrs. [Mary] Levison has some reason for her distrust that [Jesse] Haney was looking too keenly after his interests at the expense of hers. When he started the ?ǣComic Monthly ? quoth Cahill, he intended it to be as was the ?ǣNic-nax, ? owned by both, himself and [William] Levison ?s widow, but finding it a greater success than he anticipated, he assumed the proprietorship himself, paying her $200 yearly, for the use of the cuts. He has made the same bargain with her, now, (Cahill says they ?re worth much more.) Further, the ?ǣComic Monthly ? engravings, being cut in the ?ǣNic-nax ? Office, Haney thereby saved rent, at least half-rent, that being charged to the ?ǣNic-nax ? firm. Then the same matter set up in ?ǣNic-nax, ? was, by the printers connivance, bodily transferred to the pages of the Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 12, page 220, May 21, 1860 . 21 May 1860.
