Called on Mr. Moore the American consul - in the evening found my friend at his fathers house, where were his sisters and other ladies - also Badiali the vocalist who makes himself very agreeable in company - accompanied Mr. R and his sisters to the opera - the piece performed was Sappho - ending in his precipitating himself from the rocks of Leucadia - the scenery was good.

The artists evidently exerted themselves to get the applause of the audience - the prima donna that performed Sappho - Signora Derancourt - Mrs. Shaw - performed Clymene with more applause than before - and Badiali as Alicandro - a fine display of the ladies in the boxes - and a good deal of coquetry.
