     Returned from NY this morning 

with Chamberlain Heard Chapin last evening and admired the vigor of his discourse.

           "Du Last[ Dcaiuanter" ?]

              Capt. Crosby's report 

merits a place in the annals of R.J. G. is as good as ["Doctrik"?]

            Thackery is dead ; but

          "Antonie" explained to 

me the merits of the Schleswig et Holstein question while shaving.
