Fine day. Distribution as usual. Evening at home and at E. Brooks’.

I went to the Office as usual this morning and was occupied in accounts and a variety of other little duties but the employment of my hours does not entirely satisfy me. Home at noon to read Hecuba.

The accounts we receive from Quincy are very discouraging. Afternoon Menzel. Evening with the children until eight after which we went to Edward Brooks’, calling for half an hour to see Sidney and his Wife. On my return home went on with my Lecture.
