Walked on levee with Hamilton and looked at breakwater and talked with contractor. Second one well advanced. He assured us that they would be very permanent and rapidly form a batture.

Sugar market very low. Hanging Audubon birds until dinner time. Robert did everything well and quickly. Gave him $1.00. They look remarkably well as they hang around the dining room. Canvas Back Ducks - Grouse - Blue Jays - Mocking Birds. Put Baltimore Oriole's in Mrs. Beirne's room. And hung Doe & Faun also in the same room for Mr. Beirne.
