Fine day. Morning, Office. Afternoon Quincy. Evening to Mrs. H. B. Rogers’.

I made a little more headway upon Burr but not much. I am almost discouraged about it. I must increase the number of my working hours. For at this rate I shall get nothing done. Ajax for an hour.

Afternoon to Quincy where I kept on my work transferring trees to the bottom of the slope in front of my house. But I had so short a time to do it in that I could not finish.

Home late where I found Mr. Brooks, who took tea. After which we 222went to a small party at Mrs. H. B. Rogers’. A few persons to meet Mrs. John Rogers from Northampton. Middling dull.
