Wednesday, Dec 16, 1874- The mercury stood at 8 degrees this morning. Directly after breakfast I went up to the carriage makers to do an errand and after I returned took a brisk walk across by Tom Hamiltons, after which I went at my drapery again and have got on better today. I think I can finish it tomrorow. Received a note from Edward Brown enclosing a check for $225 for my picture of Deans River. The check was signed Charles Smith, a man [...] wears diamond shirt studs. This is less than half I asked for it at at the Academy but I never liked the picture and am glad to get rid of it. At evening the mercury had risen to 31 degrees.
