Bad weather, rain and ice. Dine at Mr. Brooks’. Evening at home.

Office making a call upon Mrs. Sidney Brooks on the way. The streets dangerously slippery. Still occupied in travelling through the Accounts which had been laid over. It is a gratification to pay them.

Home where I go on with Oedipus Coloneus. I find this was rather superficially read before. And it is in itself among the most difficult of the plays.

Went to dine with Mr. Brooks. The first dinner of the family I have seen for a long while. Every member in town present and a very pleasant time. We did not stay, but returned home where we had a very quiet evening.
