The wind from E both days, air raw and unpleasant. I saw several persons on business and settled with J T Cox who paid off his mortgage and I deposited $600 in Philadelphia Bank to pay bills for 4th Street house. I called at Frankford on J. Worsel[?] to assure me that he and J. Peterson had signed the order for G. Robinson, but when I got home at 6 PM my wife informed me the Directors been to afford his any relief. I heard he had suffered for want of such things as he could take. I brought out oysters, oranges, arrow root and some herrings for him but too late to send this evening.
