Fine day but cool. Time as usual. Evening at home.

Louisa continues to recover. God be praised for all his kindness. I can hardly see a cart without shuddering at the risk she ran.

Office where I had so many interruptions as to be able to do little. Deacon Spear and my father, Mr. N. Curtis and Dr. G. Parkman. My father came in to dine with Governor Winthrop.1 I also spent about an hour at an auction sale of horses and carriages and succeeded in purchasing a harness, in lieu of the ones stolen last winter.

Afternoon, finished Mr. Tucker’s volume upon Banks and currency which is a useful work considering a Virginian composes it.

Evening at home. Mr. Degrand called. Conversation with my father upon sundry matters. He remained at my house for the night. E. C. Adams also.
