Very pleasant. To Quincy all day. Evening at home.

I started early this morning for Quincy in order to make a good day of it. Occupied most of the time in transplanting two trees. One an English Oak of some size which I placed in a conspicuous position and one a native Oak on the line below. This consumed all of the time not devoted to my father and brought me to town rather later than I wished. The darkness was such that I determined not to be caught so again. Evening much alone at my house. Worked hard upon my papers.
