Entry 395 in Mackay's notebook (located in library): Lovely daguerreotype of “Rodah (Rhoda?) Munn” All the Munn daguerreotypes were cousins of Mrs. Paterson’s mother. Mrs. Paterson’s mother came thru [?] with 2 children from N.Y. and her father came around the Horn in 9 months, from their home in Newark, New Jersey in 1849. Rodah Munn is young girl in dark dress. Cob-webby collar & cuffs & unusual gilt mat. Very clear dag. Gift of Mrs. Paterson.
