Gross for two fire escapes, one from each balcony, of wrought Iron, at Steinway Hall. Find the modes of fire escape at the Steinway factory excellent. Arrange details of Contract with Maxwell, at Theodors house, among us three. Then we go to Zieglers, eat Supper, then Maxwell & I to Liederkranz, where I preside, and reach home at 11.14, PM |
