Chilly but mild. Office. Division as usual. Evening at home.

After going to Market I went to the Office and at last succeeded in bringing up the long Arrears of Diary occasioned by my week’s absence to New York. Deacon Spear came in from Quincy, and I settled my account with him. Mr. Fuller also spent an hour examining Mr. Boylston’s Accounts.

Home to read Antigone. After dinner, Sharon Turner, and in the evening reading Walpole to my Wife. Then writing over one sheet of my Article which I shall spread one half in the process. This is very fatiguing.
