Wished to get away early as I intended visiting Belle + Pauline. But when I got down I was about to look up P.B. Sweeney. Marvelled up + around looking for "Brains." Compromised matters with my companion in the search by letting him cowrite up the affair + [chark] for it while I should simply claim a 82 detail. He gladly assented. Arrived dirty looking + far worse feeling at the Sullivans. I received such a warm reception that I forgot all about myself + thoroughly enjoyed the passing hour. Belle was very kind. Left 11/12. To Herald office + then to Brooklyn. Friday 16th Court business slow. Bayard + I took dinner at Astor House. Then in Broadway car to Eagle Theatre to see Anvill. Bayard tried to get in pee + failed.
