Beecher]. Afternoon and Evening drawing. 18. Tuesday. Went to New York, Fourth Street. A Mr. Gosling who had called on me yesterday afternoon about a big circular announcing the sale of Hacking. Told him Baker’s charge for engraving and mine for drawing. Then to Fifth Street, Mrs. Washborn — the lady of yesterday. A pleasant, mild face she has, and gray hair.
