The morning threatened great heat but the rising of the east wind furnished us a great luxury and reduced the temperature. I went to town for the morning. Time in that fatiguing business of accounts which is disgusting from its tedium. I have now verified the accuracy of all the entries and still there is an error. Home to dinner. Afternoon, Pliny and some labour in my ground. But the heat increased towards night. I. H. Adams, Mr. C. Miller and Mr. Smith passed half an hour. I felt much fatigued.
