25.
Mr:
Dennie has lent me a number of Journals and Reviews
recently from England, with which I amuse my leisure moments; but I find
it impossible to write as I could wish, having no place secure from
continual interruptions. Mr: Vaughan called on me this
morning— With him, Mr: Dennie, and Mr: Nicholls, I pass’d
a couple of hours in the library and cabinet of the philosophical
Society— Called to see Judge
Cushing who arrived yesterday, but he was not at his
lodgings.— Mr:
Burr called on us, and other visitors are still numerous—
After dinner, I walked out with Mr: Ewing and Mr: M’Call to the
Schuylkill Bridge, which has very recently been opened— We all went to
pass the Evening at Mr: Hopkinson’s; but I had
scarcely got there, when Mrs: Adams was suddenly taken
very ill, and was scarcely able to get back to our lodgings— She
continued quite ill untill late in the Evening; and had two visits from
Dr:
Rush.
