AUDUBON JOURNAL 



Rented une Chamber garnie in Rue S* Anne N° 29 

 for 16$ per Month and removed our baggage thereto 

 from the boat — 



We Spent Tuesday Wednesday & Thursday, Look- 

 ing over the City for a Suitable House for My Litle 

 Familly — this appeared a very dificuU task and I 

 nearly Concluded to take one we visited in Dauphine 

 Street — 



My Clothes being extremely Shabby and forced 

 against My Will to provide some New ones, I bought 

 some clothes and Now Wait very impatiently on the 

 Gentleman Taylor for them that I May go and Pro- 

 cure some Pupils with a better grace — 



having renewed our early Morning Visits to the 

 Market to Look at all there— We found it allmost as 

 well suphed of Vegetables, fruits, fish. Meats, flowers, 

 &<= as in the Spring — dehghtfull radishes Letuce &" 

 plenty — Wrote to My Wife yesterday — per Mail it is 

 Now 15 days since I forwarded her a Draft on M-" 

 Gordon Which May probably have reach to day — 



I found at Mess^« Gordon Grant & C^ a Box of Oil 

 Colors and a Letter from M^ Briggs, I was sorry to 

 See both, the first did not Contain What I Wish, and 

 I Cannot say that I felt any pleasure in Reading the 

 Latter — 



I answered M^ Briggs's Letter this Evening— the 

 25**^ of Ocf —
