Morse.
Have not done all, nor as well as I could wish. Also wrote to Boyne,
but did not mail letter.
"_January 1 (Sunday)_.--Annie not very well. Got down town about 11
o'clock. Went with Ike to Chinaman's to see about paper bags.
Returned to office and worked off a lot.
"_January 2_.--Got down town about 8 o'clock. Worked some labels. Not
much doing.
"_January 3_.--Working in office all day. De Long called to talk about
getting out a journal. Did our best day's work."
From time to time they got a little business, enough at any rate to
encourage Trump and George to continue with the office, though Daley
dropped out; and each day that the money was there the two partners
took out of the business twenty-five cents apiece, which they together
spent for food, Trump's wife being with her relatives and he taking his
dinner with the Georges. They lived chiefly on cornmeal and milk,
potatoes, bread and sturgeon, for meat they could not afford and
sturgeon was the cheapest fish they could find.[1] Mr. George
generally went to the office early without breakfast, saying that he
would get it down town; but knowing that he had no money, his wife more
than suspected that many a morning passed without his getting a
mouthful.
