and I. We had a much pleasant time as we always do at these studio dinners. After dinner they all came down to our rooms where we had ice cream and some songs from Miss Sterling. Thursday I went out for the first time since last friday having suffered all this time with a refractory tooth My picture "October in the Kaatskills" went to Mr. Moores sale limited at $1000 and frame. We had the Giffords all here at lunch including Mr & Mrs. Gifford. Mrs Blackburn called and I gave her the little sketch I painted for her. In the evening we went to a farewell party for Mrs Joy at Mrs Joumans. Friday I received a letter from Baltimore inquiring the price of my "November" in the Academy. It was from a dealer and I sent the price $1250 and told them if they sold to retain $100. Manuel came down from home. He wanted to go to the theater in the evening and urged me to go although my tooth troubled me a good deal. We went and saw David Garrick and Dundreary Married by Sothern. I was not as much struck with his Garrick as I expected to be. Miss Rogers has something in her face and manner which charms me. I saw her in Pygmalian and liked her extremely. Saturday. Mr George Chickering called on me. He seems a refined and charming gentleman and I enjoyed his visit exceedingly. He likes my pictures better and better. Mr. Moore opened his collection this evening. I would have gone in spite of my swollen face only that we had tickets for Beethovens 9" Symphony sent us and we went there instead. It was splendidly performed by Thomas's orchestra and the Haydon [[Haydn]] & Handel Society of Boston. Palmer the Sculptor and his family sailed for Europe today as did Bradford and Mrs. Joy. My tooth after torturing me all night and indeed for the last ten days finally gathered and broke this morning to my intense relief. I went up to see Eastman Johnson
