Diary of Charles Francis Adams, volume 8
1839-05-17
Fine day. Morning Office. Afternoon to Quincy. Evening company.
At the Office where I was engaged in Accounts and settling Miss Elizabeth C. Adams affairs. This is one of the trusts about which it is necessary for me to be the most careful. I have got it now in a way which will answer, I hope.
Afternoon to Quincy carrying with me my boy Charles in order to get him out of the bustle and trouble of removal tomorrow. Made my last preparations for the transfer which is a very troublesome business. The place begins to look as if it might pay me for my trouble.
Home late. Edmund Quincy and his Wife and Gardiner Gorham were at the house and spent an hour. Retired being not a little fatigued.
