Clear but cool. At home all day. Dine at the mansion and evening.

I pursued my work upon the Review of Tucker so steadily that I finished it before the morning had elapsed. I think it has good points though as usual I want confidence. Finished Nathan der Weise which I do not appreciate and turned to the fables of Lessing in the same volume which are many of them very pleasant.

We dined at my father’s. After dinner Lucan book 7. 1–306, and some time spent with my boy John in taking care of my ground which runs away with much of my time. Evening at the Mansion.
