Stokes' Iconography of Manhattan Island, p. 1623, col. 1, quotes an
interesting passage describing a visit to New York City in May, 1822,
from the diary of a teenager from Philadelphia named Ellwood Walter.
At the time that Stokes was published, the manuscript of the diary was
in the hands of a descendant. Does anyone know where it is now? Young
Walter was no doubt the son of Ellwood Walter, a Philadelphia
bookseller.
