Cloudy and warm but no rain. Distribution as usual. Evening at Mrs. Carter’s.

Continued my work today. If I can go on at this rate I shall soon wind up this business. The times are again so quiet that I have only to strain a point a little to get rid of all trouble about this article before I go into the Country.

Finished the Trachinians which I shall not review at present, so that I shall be able to embrace the last of the plays of Sophocles within my winter’s work. Well done. This is encouraging.

Afternoon the second volume of Chevalier, the first half of the first dissertation of Spanheim upon ancient coins.1 Evening to Mrs. Carter’s where my Wife was asked to drink tea. Mr. and Mrs. Seaver, and Miss Sigourney there.
