Diary of John Quincy Adams, volume 2
1788-06-24
This day we got so far in order as to make a home of the house. I dined at my uncle Cranch's. The remainder of the packages are expected to-morrow; but those that are already here, are not all unpack'd. Much damage was done on the voyage.1
JQA writes, in his line-a-day entry, “Folks got down to the house. I lodg'dined out” (D/JQA/13, Adams Papers, Microfilms, Reel No. 16).
