Saturday, 21 September 1861
Fine early, but soon clouds & wind, & at 11 ― rain.
Worked a little at Athos, & the Dead Sea sky, & packed most things. At 1 called on Crakes & Fowlers, & Mrs. G.S. The Fowler’s have worse accounts of little Alfred, & go up to town tonight.
Pouring rain: returned to lodgings in fly. ―
At 4.30 to Lewes ― rain always ― heavy.
Dinner alone with B.H.H. Mrs. H.H. ― Margaret Blackmore & Helen Costa came later from an Archery meeting & dance at the Hook. ―

So end 5 weeks since I came to England & 4 here.
