Diary of Charles Francis Adams, volume 8
1839-10-07
Fine day. Work as usual. Afternoon ride. Evening visit to Mr. Harrod.
I passed the greater part of my morning in copying some of the letters out of my father’s correspondence. These are striking and characteristic. Also Menzel, but my attention taken off by a desire to get through with collating the letters to Mrs. Cranch.
Afternoon, went to ride through Milton taking Miss Cutts with me. Evening, called at Mrs. T. B. Adams to see Mr. Harrod. Found him there with his whole family. Quite a spectacle. He seems an amiable, pleasant man. Return by way of the Mansion home. Nothing particularly new.
