Cold, chilly day. Morning to town. Afternoon at home and also evening.

My father accompanied me to town. I devoted the greater part of the morning to Accounts, particularly as my father called for those which are now back. Finished two, when the time arrived for return.

Afternoon spent partly in overseeing the men dragging out the stone, and in Lucretius, b. 5, 1150–1300, with whom I am more pleased as I go on. We remained at home this evening instead of visiting the Mansion as there was company there.
