Fogs and mist. To Boston. Company at dinner. Evening at the Mansion.
I went to the City in the morning and was occupied most of my time in Accounts. Finished drawing up those belonging to my father and 260the rest of my time in trying to get my balance Right but failed, so I brought my books out with me to continue to work upon them.
Found upon my return, I. Hull Adams and Mr. Campbell with Elizabeth C. Adams and my father, who all dined with us. The Afternoon was therefore devoted to them and the Evening too. An hour of which was passed at the house below.
