Lantern. Down town again at 11, at Lantern
Office. With Powell to the Office of the Whig
Review. Saw Priestley, its Editor, asking about
my �Ghost Story� was told, �It was in the present
number.� Powell writing me a few lines of
introduction to Bissell, the publisher of the Re-
view, left. I, to Goslings dined, made a
call or so, then to the �Whig Review Office� again.
Saw Bissell, gnarly looking young fellow. Told
me they liked the Story (were open to future
contributions, and that on the first of next month
I was entitled to $14 for the Story. They
pay $1 per column. Before calling at
the Lantern Office I had encountered Picton
at the �Sachem� door . He�d got the current
Lantern in hand, and was showing every-
body the burlesque of himself. Imbibition of
course. Called at Reveille Office. Saw
