18. This morning at Sun-rise my thermometer stood at 9. The
severest cold we have yet had— But in the course of the day the weather
became very moderate, even to a thaw— At 11. I met the Committee on the
part of the President’s
Message— We had some conversation but could come to no particular point
for want of papers and information— We adjourned about noon.— I then
returned a number of visits— Dined at Mr: Merry’s— Mr: and Mrs: Shaw, and Mr: and Mrs:
M’Gillivray from Canada were there; as was the Vice-President, and a company of
about twenty-five in number— In the Evening a very numerous company
assembled there; but I came home and left them; chiefly at Cards.
