#counterfeit check

THURSDAY, January 8th, 1852.

Weather. Clear and cold.

Rose at 1/4 past 7 o'c, with a sick head ache, from which, I was relieved, however, soon after eating a light breakfast, which having finished I repaired to my usual place of business, where I have been engaged throughout the morning˷

After dinner I started on a Collecting tour, in the north eastern section of the City, and after walking some 2 hours found myself at my Counting room, after having met with as much success as I anticipated, and more than I have found for some time. Did not remain at my store long, being late, but wended my way homeward, in an omnibus, where I arrived safely about dark, and remained there the balance of the evening, engaged in reading until about 1/2 past 9, when I retired to rest for the night.

FRIDAY, January 9th, 1862,

Weather. Light sprinkle of Snow throughout the day˷

Rose at my usual hour and after eating my breakfast went to the Lexington Market, to procure my daily supplies, which having done, I repaired to my place of business, where I have been engaged, with the cares and troubles of business, throughout the day. Left my Counting room, this afternoon, about 1/2 past 4 o'c, to find an individual from whom I this morning received a Counterfeit Bank Note, which I did not succeed in doing, until I walked through the snow to Fells Point, where I found him, and had it rectified, I then jumped in an omnibus + reached home at dark, where I remained the balance of the evening, engaged in reading the newspaper until I became sleepy. Retired to rest at 10 o'c˷˷˷
