December 13 Tuesday – Sam and Dan De Quille (Wright) were rooming in the Daggett & Myers building at 25 North B Street, one of the large buildings that had escaped fire. They were given a rent bill and receipt for the period of Oct. 28, 1863 to Nov. 28, 1864 at the rate of $30 per month, or $390 total. The document has four line items crediting Sam or Dan for payments, leaving an amount due of $190 [Mack 246]. Note: Robert Hirst confirms that this “facsimile” room bill was a photo-facsimile of the original bill which Wright’s granddaughter, Irma Evans Morris had made for Mack in 1936 [e-mail of May 23, 2007].
