Morning clear and very pleasant. I went to town where I was occupied as usual. Accounts and various little commissions. Call from I. P. Davis about Felt’s Lecture which he does not get but promises if I go and get it, at the State House. Spoke of the dinner and then of his son Thomas whose course he seems to regret, and partly charges upon me. I told him that I leaned that way but did not sustain the Administration in its course of imbecility and error. I am myself sorry that Davis gives this uneasiness to his father, but like all sanguine temperaments he must be allowed to work his own way out of the evil. Home After-84noon, Pliny’s panegyric upon Trajan and evening down at the Mansion.
