June 13  - Arrive N.Y. after showing to Commodore for breakfast, call John, he is sure Frank can put me up one night.

To Gallery – show Frank my new work of winter & spring – his enthusiasm for most of them very heartening to me.

Lunch at the Century with Moe, Young & Zigrosser.

Our meeting is not very interesting. Little of real worth, altho we recommended several for fellowships.

With Young to Century afterwards. An “applejack” drink called Stars, which we had also had at lunch.

With F[rank] to Margarettas, with whom he is living. The balance of my visit, unsatisfactory, and sordid. I was filled with disgust over their attitude toward their relation, their excessive drinking and frivolous attitude toward life. I made the mistake of drinking some along with them and as a consequence, the combination of apple-jack, gin & wine upset my stomach and gave me a terrific hangover the next morning.
