Saturday, 26 October 1861
Very fine all day. Dalzells man came ― & brought the last of the 112 prints of nonsense.
Cab to Rail ― Waterloo ― & so to Leatherhead, ― Sarah & Ellen, the last sisters, coming to meet me.
It is not so long ago, since dearest Ann, besides Harriett & Mary were there also.
The day was pleasant enough ― for I made them laugh, & talked constantly.
Mr. & Mrs. Waite came: she is very pretty & pleasant. At 5 Sarah walked part of the way with me. ―
Home by 7.
Letters from James Edwards, & F.L. ― the Husey Hunts, & Arthur P. Stanley had been.
