Cold and clear. Usual division of time. Evening, visits.

At the Office today making up arrears. The division of occupation now becomes so monotonous that I hardly deem it worth while to 147record it. I resumed the Alcestis of Euripides going over what I had already read. This practice must be adhered to.

Continued Burr, and resumed my voluntary task of making a Catalogue of the Athenaeum coins. In order to remove them from danger, when my house was entered, I put them into a trunk in great disorder, which will cost me some additional labour.

Made another unsuccessful visit to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Blake and then went to see Mr. and Mrs. Frothingham with whom we spent an agreeable hour. Finished the last of my numbers. They will not pay the cost.
