Excerpt from Letters From John Pintard to His Daughter, Eliza Noel Pintard Davidson, 1816-1833, Vol. 3 of 4: 1828-1831 All hail to the New Year. May it prove more auspicious to the unfortunate than the past, and to all of us afford peace prosperity happiness. Yesty New Year´s day, was unusually mild pleasant. The streets were filled with gentlemen, who like myself were making their annual visits of kind greetings. I could not but feel grateful to my Maker, that my health permitted me to make my friendly calls, some of which, shd I be spared to see another Year, may not be repeated. Our city grows so extensive and old friends live scattered so wide apart, that the exercise was overfatiguing, but thank God no inconvenience or injury ensued... The joyous older fashion has declined gradually, the New Years dram & Cookey are rarely touched, even hot punch, scarcely tasted. It is well, for formerly New Years was a riotous day. Kind greetings will I hope never go out of fashion. It is right to lay the dram aside. Sisters table was really the handsomest display, that I saw... Thury [January] 3d. A melancholy suicide took place yesty, Oliver G. Kane, a very decent young man of good family. Secy of the National Marine Co put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains, in consequence no doubt of breach of trust, to what extent is not yet ascertained. It is said that he left a note for Mr Depeyster Prest stating that the history of his life was pourtrayed in the Tragedy of the Gamester. Awful avowal. Friday [January] 4th. The commencemt of the New Year is always attended with accumulated duty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
