As I draw towards the close of my Discourse, and feel the necessity of
compressing my thoughts, the labour becomes more irksome, and my
distrust of my own work more distressing— I find on reading over parts
of what I have written tiresome diffuseness, and multitudinous
repetitions— Soon after noon I went and gave a fourth sitting for my
Portrait to Mr
Charles— Mr Hughes and Dr Thomas
dined with us. Soon after 4. O’Clock, Hughes took leave of us, to return by the Railway
Cars to Baltimore; whence he goes to embark at New-York on the 25th. of this Month for Liverpool— His gay and
sprightly character, and inexhaustible Spirits are gone, but his kind
and affectionate temper remain— After he and the Doctor were gone I
finished my daily task, which I had not been able to complete before
dinner— Miss Mary Cutts was here;
but the Ladies were riding out, and she did not stay— In the
evening Miss Wooster, Miss
Williams, and Miss Smith three
of the young Ladies teachers at Miss
Breschard’s school were here— I took my twilight walk.
