Oct. 22.
Returned today from a
week’s stop in New York city.
While there heard the
Opera “Ernani” + Mrs. Kimberly’s
Midsummer Night’s dream with
accompanying music of
Mendellson [sic]. Now I understand
the Wedding march better, and
that illustration which I have
seen so often where a beautiful
young lady makes love to an
ugly wolf and decks him out
with garlands of flowers.
