Diary of Charles Francis Adams, volume 8
1838-12-14
Fine weather. Distribution as usual omitting Greek.
My morning was entirely taken up by the various little forms incidental to the execution of the papers of Mr. Stanwood. I have been so long delayed that I determined if possible to push the matter right through to it’s termination. Having therefore got Mr. Goddard and Mr. Stanwood together, I waited until all the papers connected with the subject were ready drawn up and all the difficulties and impediments were removed and then we got through thus terminating this business. A very disagreeable affair from beginning to end, and my delay prevented my Greek. Coins, and Evening Miss Martineau and Crevier.
