Y'r good letter rec'd—ab't the Balt. Hospital idea it does not at present come to me any thing like decidedly—but will probably have some more definite feeling soon—the cloudy & rainy spell continued to-day—quite a sort o' bowel movement this forenoon—(took a cal: powder last night & some bitter water this morning)—rare egg, fried, Graham b'd and coffee for breakfast—am to have three or four rare stew'd oysters for my supper ab't 5—(I eat no dinner)—all goes sort o' comfortable—gloomy & rainy enough out tho'—mild rather—

Sunday afternoon April 28

Well it just looks out like clearing & sunshine—so mote it be—Nothing very different with me—my head &c: the "cold" & stuffy (is it catarrh?) heavy, deaf, half-ache feeling—have been trying to interest myself in the Press and the Tribune today—poor work—rather dull to-day, (& indeed these days)—Yes the sun comes out stronger—promising great things for the New York show, wh' seems to be much made of all around here—I enc: two or three cards &c: (like the dinner givers put on some extra dishes even if not much appetizing in them they fill up)—the new ed'n L of G. will have six little portraits in—all goes on smoothly—am sitting here by a pretty good fire as it is coolish
