Morning to town. Afternoon at home as usual. Evening at the Mansion.

My morning in the city was very much taken up with accounts so that I did hardly any thing else. I am making my preparations for the usual annual balancing, which is always a process of difficulty.

J. H. Adams went in with me but did not accompany me out. Read of Lucan b. 6 the remainder, and worked upon my place, but I find this fatigues me much.
