Went on a sail yesterday down the river. The day was
exceedingly warm, but with a pleasant company we had an agreeable and
comfortable time on the boat. The jaunt was of benefit to me. I am told by Drs.
W. and H., whom I see officially almost daily, and am myself sensible of the
fact, that I am too closely confined and too unremittingly employed, but I know
not when or how to leave, — hardly for a day. The Sabbath day is not one of
rest to me.
