Were it to be said to her ?ǣOf all who in God ?s sight exist in this house ? you alone play the best, and truly heroic part, working ever from sunrise to sunset, and later, to mountain and hold this house by your scantily recompensed labour, ? it would be strange news to her.

Poor lean widow, many be there in the world, (little honoured by it, ) like you ? but of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. 30. Friday. Work on ?ǣMose [among the Britishers]. ? In the toil of the afternoon feeling the need of fresh air crossed to New York. Left the design for big poster of Warren Butlers. Looked in at Chamber [Chambers] Street, saw Mr. [Joseph] Greatbatch and leart [learnt] that Joe [Greatbatch] is still in New York. Has ?ǣhad a gum bal, ? ?ǣswelled face, ? is doing ?ǣnothing, ? and thinks of going back to Connecticut. / My ?ǣRipper ? article in the ?ǣEmpire City, ? with divers congratulation from the Editor. ?ǣA hit ? a very palpable hit. ? Requesteth ?ǣmore of my quality, ? and exhorteth me ?ǣto keep it up lively. ? Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 1, page 59, November 29-30, 1849 . 29 November 1849.
