Milder and clear. Usual division of time. Evening Mr. Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. Frothingham and Thomas with us.

Nothing of moment to record of my morning which seems to be doomed to the same kind of worthless waste that has always so fretted me in Boston. Went to the Athenaeum but found nothing.

Mr. G. Whitney the minister of Jamaica Plains called to ask for a Lecture there. I told him my principles and he fell into them. This business of lecturing is attended with mighty little profit. I do it only because it enables me to gain some foothold in the Community.

Euripides. Coins and Burr. A very pleasant visit from Mr. and Mrs. Frothingham and Mr. Brooks, after which I tried to revise my Lecture upon Northern Adventure with little success.
