Looks like January 25th instead of 26th, and the "1858" was added in a different handwriting and is apparently incorrect. January 25th in 1858 was a Monday. This was likely written January 25, 1855, which was indeed a Thursday.
6/13/2023 Initial review complete. CE
Action: Changed "26" to "25" in line 1 and included the additions which appear to have been written separately. Corrected several words e.g. "Lorir" to "Courier" in line 11.
