Clear and cool. At home all day. Evening to see D. Greenleaf.

This was the first day that looked much like Summer and I enjoyed it although it was cold. When I remember the hot week of last year, this was a contrast. Busy at home in finishing a long law paper to be copied for my father and in writing over one sheet of my review of Tucker which did not satisfy me. I thought the portion I wrote was an improvement.

Read the remainder of Lessing’s fables and part of his dissertation upon fable. Also a part of Texier’s sketch of the Constitution of the ancient Roman republic.1 After dinner Lucan 8, 1–330, and working out upon my grounds. I felt very well all day which encouraged me much. Nothing in this world can be enjoyed without good health.

Evening called to see Daniel Greenleaf. My father accompanied me. Since last Summer Mr. G has lost his Wife and is now a lone person in the world, but he does not appear to mind it much. He showed me this evening the plan of the land called the three corner lot.
