watched Mr. Heade of Boston paint--a sunset marine
view--then with him horseback--invited Miss Holman
she was engaged--was introduced yesterday to Ex
Pres. Pierce & saw him again today--also saw
Bis[hop] Eastburn at beach--watched the ladies
bathe & afterwards bathed myself. much warmer
There are theatricals in parlor tonight for Sanitery
Com--I must see if meantime I can sermonize
a little while they are at it--reported that Gen [Franz]
Sigel shot Gen. [Irvin] McDowell thro. the head in battle field
at Warrenton lately--I doubt it. Great uncertainty
& doubt about Army Affairs.
Martin John Heade, 1819-1904, American romantic artist known for his tranquil marsh scenes and seascapes
