John Quincy Adams Digital Diary

9. IV:15. There was heavy rain and thunder in the Night. The rain held up after I rose, and before noon there was scarcely a trace of it perceptible upon the ground. I attended at the Rendezvous, to which Mr ten Cate came on horseback. we bathed in the Potowmack at the mouth of the Potowmack and agreed to meet there every fair morning for the same purpose. Mr D. Brent continues ill and unable to attend at the Office, which much discomposes the routine of ordinary business— Received another Letter from the President. Wrote to N. Levy the Agent appointed for the Island of St. Thomas— Mrs Adams spent the Evening at her Sister Frye’s. I made a very short Evening. There was a Note from Mr Hyde de Neuville, asking an interview either at my house or my Office, which came after I was in bed.
