Adams Papers

6th.

6th.

I alter’d my plans of study, and determined to copy forms in the day time because, I can do it notwithstanding all the noise that may be going forward in the office, and read at my own lodgings. I extract a great deal, and am almost tired with it, but Mr. Parsons advises me by all means not to give it up.

In the evening I received a long letter from my Sister,1 and likewise one from W. Cranch.2

1. Probably AA2 to JQA, 10 June–16 July (Adams Papers).

2. The only extant letter at this time from Cranch, dated 5 Oct., was probably the one JQA received on 9 Oct. (Adams Papers).
