Titlepage of D/CFA/9 (Adams Papers, Microfilms, Reel No. 61), which begins where D/CFA/8 ends and contains all the journal entries CFA made between the terminal dates indicated here. CFA repeats these terminal dates on a page (omitted) following the epigraph and preceding the entry for 1 January.

An explanation of the discrepancy between CFA’s numbering of his Diary volumes and the Adams Papers serial numbering is given at vol. 1:xxxvii–xxxviii. For a description of this Diary MS and of the other MSS from which the printed text of vols. 3 and 4 derives, see the Introduction.
