Mild. Office. After dinner Proprietors of South Cove. Evening Mr. J. C. Gray’s.

After coins, went to the Office. Time devoted to making up Diary which I am at last getting through with. Nothing new. Home after walk. Began Antigone and read with great facility a hundred and forty lines.

Afternoon attended a meeting at the Market Bank of the principal Stockholders of the South Cove Company preparatory to the Annual Meeting to be held tomorrow. Mr. B. R. Nichols who seemed the principal manager reported a plan for the ultimate division of the whole filled up property and satisfaction of all the shares. The details were not digested but I was inclined to favour the scheme if I could be sure that there were not individual interests at work against the general interest. There were a few particulars to which I objected, but the movement seemed to be the other way and I was much in the minority.

Home. Evening to Mrs. J. C. Gray’s to a very small party of her family. It was pleasant enough.
