April 19, 1883, Thursday

Cloudy - warm - shower in afternoon.  Went to office with Mr. Beirne.  He put $8500 to my credit with Chiapella.  I drew $1000 and deposited it in the Canal Bank with which I opened and account.  Drew $100.
Left in steamer "White" at 5:00 p.m. for home - reached Houmas store landing at 11:30 p.m. and home about midnight.  Paid $5 for passage, instead of the usual fare of $3.
