13 December 1853
Tues. 13th . Foggy—Reading, writing, & rehearsing A.M.—study P.M. at Theatre 7 P.M. being eleven nights since I last appeared—Had twenty, or twenty five , dollars extracted from my pocket-book while on the stage. The money was rolled up in my pantaloons pocket and put in my valise. I could suspect no one, though the robbery had evidently been taken done by some person who knew of my having the money. It served me right though, as I should have known better than to take so much money with me to the Theatre after paying so much dearly for a lesson at Philadelphia—
