Diary entry, June 15, 1831: "The Cliffes brought me The Seven Chiefs which Mrs. Best had ordered from Worcester at my request; and I have been reading over again what I read with him yesterday, & writing in the margin such remarks of his as I could remember. The last day’s reading with him, must soon come, even if it be not past – but I cant bear to think that!"
