Friday. 10th.
Copied a portion of Mr. Vaughan’s papers before breakfast which now becomes later
and later. So that the morning is found to be exceedingly short. Little was done in
it. I took a short walk and called at Johnson’s Office where he gave me the news of
the political result in Delaware, which is quite favourable.1 Returned home. This contest is now raging with the utmost violence and it is impossible
to decide in which way it will result. But our hopes are now high. Received a pretty
letter from Abby, and on the whole felt in pretty good spirits. Took a long ride with
my Mother and Mary and in the evening the family assembled in the circular room for
the first time since my arrival here.
1. Two-thirds of the newly elected Delaware legislature was reported to be friendly to
JQA (Daily National Intelligencer, 11 Oct. 1828).
