Fine day. Usual division. Evening small party at Mrs. E. Blake’s.

I continued my work at the Office which gives me satisfaction as it keeps me employed. My set of articles however are very slow in their progress. I began to write one over the fourth time this day.

Philoctetes as usual. It is very easy to read and I begin to think I am really mastering Greek. After dinner, Crevier and MS. upon which I propose to be again engaged.

Went to a small family party at Mrs. Blake’s in the evening. The Parkmans and Dehons, rather dull. Home. Burr is dull.
