Morning pleasant with flying clouds. I went to the Office and from thence walking to accomplish commissions. Met Kirk who had come in with one of the horses and expected me to go out so that I might 59return with the other. Accordingly I started in my new Conveyance which I liked very well, and reached the house about eleven.

Every thing looked very much improved from what it was when I started and yet I could not help feeling how rough it all was and how much attention it would require before I could make any thing comely out of it. I was led into a more extensive undertaking than I have either disposition or means to keep up. My grounds are yet but poorly clothed with green and that at a time when the country has it’s richest coat.

After giving such directions as I could, I returned home, just in time for dinner. Afternoon at home quietly reading of the Hindoos. Unable to assume more active or useful work from the proximity of my removal. Evening writing Diary, which I brought up.
