A few
memoranda of expenses, one of which was curious: "Dinner with
Jean, 58 rubles;" and immediately after it: "Doctor, 10 rubles."
There were, moreover, a leaf torn out of a journal, and half of a
note which had been torn down the middle, both implicating "Jean"
in some way with the fortunes of the dead man.
The papers belonging to the American phase, so far as they were to
be identified by dates, or by some internal evidence, were fewer,
but even more enigmatical in character. The principal one was a
list of addresses in New York, divided into sections, the street
boundaries of which were given. There were no names, but some
of the addresses were marked +, and others ?, and a few had been
crossed out with a pencil. Then there were some leaves of a
journal of diet and bodily symptoms, of a very singular character;
three fragments of drafts of letters, in pencil, one of them
commencing, "Dog and villain!" and a single note of "Began work,
September 10th, 1865." This was about a year before his death.
The date of the diploma given by the gymnasium at Breslau was June
27, 1855, and the first date in Poland was May 3, 1861.
