Bad weather continues. Distribution as usual. Evening at home.

I worked again upon Burr, although neither so long nor so effectively as last week. As I proceed the task becomes more difficult and I am not so well prepared in my mind. Much that I think of, I reject.

At the Athenaeum also where I procure books upon currency. I wish to extend my information upon the subject. Several pamphlets I find, which may be of some use. Home late and read Ajax superficially. This is bad.

Afternoon reading a part of Spanheims Second Dissertation upon the value of coins as a study, and the pamphlets already mentioned caused by the distress of 1837. Evening at home. I read Robinson Crusoe to the children one hour. Continue Tucker.
