Fine day though cold, Distribution as usual. Evening visit.

My morning at the Office was consumed in looking up Title deeds and in making settlement with Mr. Brooks of his interest in Mr. Johnson’s Affairs. Thus a large sum is now in my hands which will require re-investment. I must try to be cool and cautious.

Continued Alcestis picking up much in my review. Coins, comparing with Cook and Crevier. I am improving and refreshing my acquaintance with the Roman Empire.

Evening Mrs. Adams and I to see Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Tucker. He was out but we were admitted and saw her and Mrs. Gray her daughter. After a pleasant half hour we went home. Mr. Tucker is one of those gentlemen who has manifested some little kindness towards me and therefore it is that I do this.
