Lovely day. Division as usual. Quiet evening.

More applications for the farm at Weston. Time at the Office spent in Accounts reviewing the state of the last two years, and especially six months back. Tried to find the Report of Burr’s trial at Richmond but without success. What difficulty always about books. I ought to go to the Athenaeum and study, Wood’s book, and Jefferson and many others.

Home. Antigone in which I make progress. Finished in the afternoon the review of Burr’s Life. And now I must positively go on to write. Inconceivable how sluggish I am. My ambition is almost dead within me. Evening, trying again upon the currency, and better.
