It was a lunch time visit at the museum when I sketched this mother with her
son. I thought it was really wonderful that she had him there to experience
great art. What also interested me was the fact that he seemed to be explaining
the work to her.

I thought this was a fun experience at the Art Museum. I was sitting in the
next room sketching this woman who was doing sketches of the paintings. I
imagine she was a student of the nearby art college.

#2 -Gertrude Ginney, Bertha Snell & Penelope Peck(from left to right)
There are quite a few references to these three later in the diary but I will say now that Gertrude, being very creative, managed to run a small millinery shop, where she eventually produced a line of hats for the soldiers in 1834.
Bertha, who was known for her snooty attitude, ended up running a brothel and spent 6 years in a coop. And Penelope, was one of the sisters of Maggie Peck. Other than a note about her being very shy, she had 10 children.
