Describes attending a birthday party for Grace Eldredge in Brooklyn. Transcription: in private. But he [Mr. Ulric]'s a man whom it would be more than ridiculous to be angry with. Enough of him for the present. We had a jolly time. Grace [Eldredge] was very fully-crinolined, with her fair, bright, silky hair in curls on either side of her face, and ornamented with a sort of scarlet net work at the back of it; two broad, bright variously tinted ribbon sashes flowing from her waist. She is an exceedingly tall girl, her good looks and attractiveness being derived rather from health and good-nature than the intellectual expression of her features. Yet she has a soul of her own and can think for herself. So much for the heroine of the occasion ? I haven ?t time to speak of the others. I think Doestick's wife [Anna Thomson] was the prettiest woman there; with her silky dark hair worn smoothly and plainly, her kind eyes, innocent voice and sweet, pleasant laugh. She wore a low dress and seemed a little embarrassed by consciousness of it. We played games of the forfeit character, of with more or less osculatory results, then at 10, to the basement and supper.

My song a great success. Everybody amusing and jolly. The Thomsons' off by 12. Haney to bed on the parlor sofa, I on one in Jim [Parton]'s room, Cahill in the adjoining apartment. 25. Thursday. A merry breakfast. Ulric came and was tortured by fabulous accounts of the number of persons who stayed all night. Back to New York. Last Friday the vulturous-looked engraver [John] Watson was arrested for forgery &c. I think this time he ?s likely to resume his acquain- Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 9, page 73, February 24-25, 1858 . 24 February 1858. Gunn, Thomas Butler, 1826-1903
