Diary of Charles Francis Adams, volume 8
1839-07-16
Fine day. Morning to town. Afternoon at home reading. Evening at the Mansion.
I rode to town and was occupied the greater part of my time in various commissions. Walked up to see my house in Acorn Street vacated today but found it shut up, so that I had my walk for nothing.
Nothing new. After dinner finished the second book of the Annals of Tacitus. This review is interesting if not useful. A little work besides, after which Grimm.
Evening at the Mansion which seems to be our regular course.
