Diary of Charles Francis Adams, volume 8
1839-04-02
Cool and clear. Distribution as usual. Evening at home.
My time at the Office was again much taken up in Accounts. Paid off one of my Notes of the South Cove Company making the third. There are two left about which I propose to make arrangement as soon as possible. For that debt worries me a good deal. The State of the Stock market is such as to disable me from converting any thing that I possess to advantage. I have nevertheless so far done wonders and hope I shall continue and persevere.
Continue Greek. After dinner read another publication of the Library of Entertaining Knowledge being the Search for Knowledge under difficulties. The instances are too much crowded for the memory. Evening at home. Read over Burr and was disgusted. O dear!
