Our weather now is remarkably pleasant. Clear and cool but not too cold. My Wife now appears to be gaining strength pretty rapidly, and will I hope feel the benefit of her decision about the child.

I went to the Office and was occupied in matters of account. Mr. Beebe called in and begged off from the payment of the principal until better times. This was somewhat unexpected and hardly agreeable. I told him I would consult with Mr. Brooks. The state of affairs can hardly be worse now. I did talk with Mr. B. and found he agreed with me.

Home too late for Sophocles. Afternoon, coins. Evening, an hour with Abby who now sits up, after which I went to a party at Governor Everett’s. A small number compared with yesterday and many members of the Legislature but on the whole pleasant.
