Snow all day with high wind. Office for an hour, day at home.

The Storm lulled at about one o’clock this morning but the snow continued falling all day and evening and the wind though moderated was still high.

I remained at home engaged in my usual occupation for an hour after breakfast, that is, making a thorough classification of my collection of coins and medals. This is of far greater value than I had imagined, and I am constantly occupied in improving it without incurring too heavy expense. My time at the Office is my least profitable time.

Read Sophocles, I find I have still much to do to master the whole force of the text, but it grows easier to me at every trial. Afternoon Mr. Raguet’s book on Banking, and Evening at home reading Walpole’s letters which are very amusing. Lecture.
