The Diary

Warm clear day. Notary Hansen takes all acknowledgements Proof of death, Dr. Schnetter Robert Stevens, Louise A. Steinway, and John J. Diehl the Undertakers statement.

Then I proceed down town call at Rathskeller, lunch, on Van Santvoord, on Knauth, Nachod & Kühne, get letter of credit for 30.000 francs. In eve'g at home, write letters to R. R. & Theo. Windmüller & Freund call, to bed at 11 PM.

Warm day. Rise at 5 A.M. take first Showerbath finish letters. Very busy. Old Cluett yesterday & today bothers me a good deal, Mr. Cotterill calls, we lunch together at Schülers. Busy all afternoon, in eveg with Tretbar, H. Steinway & H. A. Cassebeer, at my house, play Skat, lose 84 Cents
For some time I have been perfectly well in body wonder if this can be attributed to drinking a glass of Hollunderthee every night --- It probably helps

Beautiful day. A year has elapsed since my late wife has sailed for Europe. I work at Store in the morning having seen Mrs. Louisa at Kreischers on the way. In afternoon whole family except grandmother to the farm, where it is beautiful Capt. Willigerod & Insp. Ernst there. Mrs. Luther has sore breast, was cut. Take supper home, then spend evening at Kreischers, poor Mrs. Albert St. is still almost heartbroke
