Gloomy wet day. Feel excessively depressed in spirits. Down town at 12 oclock leaving $27.781.63 with Alonzo Follet, broker to place, lunch with Tafelrunde, Klamroth will have final fight in board of Education this afternoon. Business pretty slow, but money is coming in fairly so that we are enabled to meet the excessive payments which matured this month. Saw Joe Howard, jr. who promises to pay up within a few days by a note from Merriam. At home in evening, Reck to supper with us, Papa Dietzsch comes afterwards, Albert also comes in, with him, C. & H. St. play Skat and win 58 Cents, Dietzsch & Reck & my wife play 66. Before going home for supper stop at Neuss with Reck, drink two glasses of Prague Beer. meet Mayor Gunther, Bartschman and Müser there |
