  My last day at Concord and the
busiest of this very busy autumn.
I had ten men at work at or very near
the cabin. The mason finished the stable pit
wall. At noon we discussed that the chimney
of the new cabin has cracked & settled &
we braced its foundations with timbers.
In P.M. Hansen brought a huge chestnut log
for a bath tub. Gilbert & I closed the cabin
& went to Cambridge by 6 P.M. train. Found
C. [Caroline] at the house.
