Wednesday, April 17th, 1861


To day James Wrigley & Mrs. Gayle arrived home on the steamer Ruthven from Galveston. I assisted in loading the Steamer Lone Star for the upper river. Florence has had a fever for 2 days, caused from the effect of dentition. Not much business doing. weather clear and pleasant.
