1850 October 10th Called on Mr. Joseph Pattin, Senr. at 270 Greenwich Street who was too unwell to be seen. On the Revd. P. J. Van Pelt of 71 Hammond Street who was from home. His daughter, Miss Van Pelt, informed me that her father was a nephew of Dr. Wilson, and, as she believed, wrote the obituary article about which I had been enquiring, &c.
