Clear day. Distribution as usual. Evening at home.

I devoted this day very much to the prosecution of my various occupations. Worked for some time upon Burr, which must now be done if it ever is. Read a little of Ajax not very thoroughly. And in the Afternoon I pursued the business of Mr. Hunt’s Article which I finished by evening. This is not so extended nor so thorough as I had designed to make it. But the fact is that time has not enabled me to do it. Evening Gardiner Gorham with us until ten o’clock.
