Fine day. Office. Roxbury Probate Court. Evening at home.

The weather at least has been highly favorable to the family, if it is like what we have had here. I went to the Office and transacted business with Deacon Spear from Quincy and others. Then I determined to walk to Roxbury to attend the Probate Court there for the passing of my account as Executor of the Will of T. B. Adams. Met Judge Leland on the way and walked with him talking politics generally. The Account was speedily passed after our arrival at his house and I returned before three o’clock. Thus I hope this business will be off my mind. Continued reading Bancroft. Evening at home, reading Nicholas Nickleby to my Wife, after which I went on with the third and I hope the last draught of my Lecture.
