Long task for those who wanted to get their luggage. Hotel Fêder: ― Col. Bowen. Walk with G. ˇ[in the city]. Thoughts of 1842 ―. Took places for Spezzia.
Dined at 4½ ― but the people are careless rather. At 7½ on board ― very small crowded steamer, & off at 8. Comedians, peasants ― friars. ― No sleep. ―
