Beautiful sunny day, not too hot. Silbernagel called and I refuse my consent to call his “Quartette” Steinway Quartette. J. O Toussaint comes by I treat him coolly so that he makes no attempt to borrow money. Wm H. Williams calls. I feel slight touch in my left heel and correspondingly lighter in my right instep.

Cassebeer via North Beach which is filled with an immense crowd of orderly people, to Flushing and College Point, take boat Wiehawken at 5 P.M. to 99^th str. NewYork drive to Astoria Ferry cross over +via Shore road to Mansion arrive there at 6.45. P.M. North Beach boats crowded from stem to stern, although all four boats “Wiehawken”, “Hackensack”, “Chancellor” and “James” are running.
