Fine day. Kept much at home by the effect of a severe cold. Evening at a meeting of the Society to prevent stealing.

I did not deem it prudent to hazard myself so much out as I have done, so I was industrious upon my papers, finishing two. The composition of these is pleasant enough and varies my occupations in a suitable manner.

Mr. Price Greenleaf called in the evening and I accompanied him to the adjourned meeting of the Society for the suppression of theft of gardens &ca. where about thirty persons spent the whole evening in adopting the Constitution and choosing Officers.
