Saturday, 20 August 1859
Impossibly lovely weather: the sea & the Mt. Carmel=like Beachy head. ―
Drew all day ― except when packing at A. Seymour’s Petra. ― Nice letters from Col. Leake ― & James Hornby ¬: the Admiral’s Cataract is removed. ―
At 5¼ came by rail to Lewes.
6½ ― pleasant dinner & evening.
