20th. Up and to the office, where busy all the morning. At noon dined in haste, and so my wife, Mrs. Barbary, Mercer, and I by coach to Hales’s, where I find my wife’s picture now perfectly finished in all respects, and a beautiful picture it is, as almost I ever saw. I sat again, and had a great deal done, but, whatever the matter is, I do not fancy that it has the air of my face, though it will be a very fine picture. Thence home and to my business, being post night, and so home to supper and to bed.
