July 13 [sic], 1809

Note: Burr fucks up the dates and it takes him a few days to figure it out. Post scheduled on the day it happened.

13. (Friday). I must be wrong about the day of the month, but that of the week is right. Couche at 1/2 p. 11. Waked and got up 1/2 p. 4, having slept enough; but Som.¹ begged me so much to pass a few minutes more with him that I consented; lay down and slept profoundly four hours. Note: It was raining very hard. Tojours abattu² after so much sleeping. Sor. at 10. To the mint by appointment with the director, Mr. Hjelm, who very civilly took me through and showed me everything. Nothing very curious, unless the free manner in which common labourers and workmen handle gold and silver in great quantities, and yet no fraud has been known. To-morrow I am to have coronation medals. To Ulrick’s to get the books I bought yesterday, he not having sent them home. Paid 24 sch. for the Laws of Sweden, one small octavo. Home at 12. Then to see Hosack at the mineral springs called ———, about two and a half miles. Still raining. Home at 2. Hosack came with me to do some commissions for me, principally the 6 ducats, but Hedboom could not be found. Fillibonk at 4. You can't imagine what an epicure I am with my filbonk.³ At 5 Hosack returned and we played chess two hours. Read “Kouloup ou les Chinois” opera comique en prose. 3 actes. Par Guilbert Pixerecourt. La musique par N. Dalayrae, memb. de la Legion d’Honneur et de l’acad. roy. de Stockholm. Imp. et representee a Paris, 1807.⁴ The plot is Shakespeare’s beggar made king, but with different draping calculated for stage effect. Sent by Hosack my note to Bergström.

1  For Somnus. Latin for Sleep or the god of sleep. 2  Always depressed. 3  This, the sixth mode of spelling the word. Note that he spells it in two different ways in two successive sentences. 4  “Kouloup or the Chinese”; a comic opera in prose, in three acts, by G.P. The music by N.D., member of the Legion of Honor and of the Royal Academy of Stockholm. Printed and staged (should be imprimé et représenté) at Paris in 1807.
