Brimstone throughout, applied in the fanatic manner. Then a letter from Henry Ward Beecher grave, eloquent and gentleman-like, preserving his style, and using his phrases in his written lectures, as nearly as I could recollect them, stating that his attention to the subject had been requested by members of his congregation. That if [Frederick] Gleason had, as he could scarcely conceive possible, published the Sonnet through in advertence, doubtless his feelings must be sufficient punishment, but if not &c This I wrote.

Then another frome Jerome de St Cyr, young French artist, (which was exquisitely turned into French by Buchman). This complimented Gleason in a very French manner, on the publication of the sonnet, and stated that the writer of the letter was an Artist, who had found no one as yet bold enough to publish drawings in his possession, illustrative of Ovid, Petronius Arbiter, Catullus & the superb Faublas of his talented compatriot Lauvet. That if Gleason did not wish to publish them he would find difficulty in refusing to purchase them ?ǣfor his private cabinet. ?

Wrote lengthily to Dillon Mapother, & fresh scribbling. Dined & to New York with Barth. To [John B.] Holmes, to Tr
