English: Describes a visit to Alfred Swinton and his family on Staten Island.
Transcription: Ashton Place, from thence, after another hour or more, took a rail-car ride down town, and the boat for Staten Island. A lovely day. To the Pagoda, saw the Swinton its proprietor and Swinton pere. Then a five mile tramp in the interior, hot; but pleasant. Arrived at Alfred Swinton’s farm, found him and children (three of them) his wife being sick of remittent fever. Ate largely of water melons & bread and butter, talked with Swinton, went out with him through his woods to see the hill-site on which he projects building a house. (I don’t think the place can be healthy — Swinton himself was put to bed for four months last year by the same disease now troubling his wife. There’s swampy ground adjacent.) Tramped back, the evening growing a little damp at sunset: to New York and walked up town, fed at Florence’s ∓ Honey’s and then parted at our boarding house doors — he [Alfred Waud] going to Mrs [Celina] Jewell’s. A pleasantly spent day altogether. I fancy he seemed just a little less prone to indulge his old humor of talking ill-conditioned of things and folk-condemning ‘em. Yet hard times and the difficulty of supporting a family, tell upon him, as they well may. He talks anxiously Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 9, page 198, September 12, 1858 |
