Diary of Charles Francis Adams, volume 8
1838-04-06
A very lovely day, such as we have here and there in the course of our Spring to relish more from its contrast with the others. I went to the Office first to meet an applicant for the farm from Weston. After 19talking with him I then went to Quincy where I found Sayer hard at work upon the bookshelves. This seems like setting the heavy machinery in motion. After measuring for the rest of the furniture which detained me until later than I intended, I returned to town not getting there until after two. Of course nothing material could be done. Home. Afternoon coins. Evening, Dr. and Mrs. Frothingham spent with us pleasantly. No news.
