As the Steamer arrived yesterday, I went to town to get my letters and Dispatches. The former brought more favorable accounts of Charles, which gave us much pleasure. There were a great many Despatches from the governments giving me much to do. Mrs Adams came in with Mary, to see Mr Erickson. She is improving, but not yet wholly restored in the round. A singular case. I went to Mr Sotheby’s rooms to look at a collection of coins for sale tomorrow. Generally rather indifferent, but with some good specimens. Such occasions generally furnish the best bargains. Home at five. The weather moderating and the snow yielding.
