Another warm day. Shortly after breakfast I went to town and finding it difficult to make much exertion I concluded to remain at the Office and work over my Accounts. My principal occupation was to attend to the remaining arrangements for our comfort this summer which I concluded more satisfactorily to myself than I had expected. The difficulties of country life arise from want of provisions which the city must afford, but the transportation is the main thing. I hope I have now got the thing in order.

Returned to dinner and could not help feeling the delight of a free air and a cool room. My situation when I look at it compensates me for all my trouble, great as it has been. Afternoon, reading and arranging my books inside and my grounds about the house. Evening, Mr. and Mrs. Lunt called for an hour. And I retired earlier than I commonly do in town.
