Morning clear and pleasant. I went down to see Sharp about my piece of furniture but still could not make it out. We worked away upon the plan for an hour or more and yet did not come to any clear determination. I left him and his workman to mature it by Monday when I am to call and finish. But my time was much shortened by the unexpected delay.

I had barely leisure enough to go round to several places on commissions previously to the time appointed to go to Quincy. Mr. Everett joined me at my house and we started for Quincy so as to arrive there before one o’clock. The Supervisors of the Adams Temple and School Fund met and went through with the transaction of their usual business. Some debate upon one point of the Lease respecting the expiration of the Lease and the contract to renew it on the same terms. Final motion to amend, succeeded, and voted to be recorded which will be my work. Afterwards, Company to dinner. Mr. D. Greenleaf, E. P. 176Greenleaf, Mr. Whitney, Mr. Lunt, Dr. Woodward. My father’s birthday and was remembered at table.

We left dinner and returned to town shortly after sunset. Home where I worked upon No. 6 until I nearly completed it. The great labour is over. I have now only the work of copying. But I must make my last number stirring.
