Adams Papers

21st.

21st.

Quite still in the office this day. I read a good deal.

This afternoon Amory1 arrived; and thus we are all five here.

I called at Mr. Carter’s and desired him to take charge of a letter to W. Cranch.2

I pass’d an hour or two with Mr. Tufts.

A very beautiful evening.

Fleet, 1779–1800; 22 vols. description ends , 1789, 1791).
