Heaton, a secretary, and a ex-president, with mentions of lawyers, crooks, strikers, and injuries from confrontations. It also notes a car crash on Sangamon street and a robbery arrest, plus scattered baseball results and city incidents.
Secretary Carlisle discusses the silver purchase under the act, noting a government obligation to buy silver valued at 114,200,900 dollars and currently worth 108,401,280 dollars at the adjusted rate. He questions how long the government will be forced to maintain such purchases and bonds to cover the public debt, stating the purpose is to obtain funds to pay for silver under the act.

The note shifts to a somber memory of a life partner and the heartache of loss.
