"Lot I," "Lot 2," "Lot 50," "Lot 200" a hammerlike word to thump the brain at night, frightening sleep, producing grotesque nightmares, as "Lot 12, a polished oak coffin, finished plain, brass Handles." No! No!
They have four concerts, and the subscription is $10, for which one obtains three tickets to each concert, and the privilege of buying two occasional tickets at $1.50 each. A singular arrangement. They are to play the 8th Symphony next Saturday. I know not what else. Give Almira a great deal of love from me. I shall sing a song to her solitude and patiently await the response.
