Pleasant day, distribution as usual. Evening at home.

I passed my day quietly enough. At the Office I began an examination of my Accounts for the last six months to see the reason of some discrepancies which I could not understand, but was interrupted by Mr. Angier who came on Account of his last Quarterly demand and by Mr. Stanwood about Mr. Johnson’s affairs.

Athenaeum and home. Alcestis. After dinner coins in which I now make visible progress. I have got to the time of Heliogabalus. An hour of time is consumed by the children’s lessons and another in the evening by Mrs. Adams’ french. After which we read a little of Miss Martineau and then I continue Crevier. The records of the times of Nero and Caligula.
