28398. Number of Bank Note for 10£ ― half of which I sent to R.S.B. by post.
At 11.10 to L. Bridge: & so to Puckley; & to Surrenden Dering by 2.
Lady Goldsmid was at Lunch, with Mrs. Galton & her 2 little girls ― & a Miss Thomas ― (Frances T.’s niece,)[.]
Afterwards Lady G. Miss T. & I walked out ―: a pleasant day, pleasant walk, pleasant company. ―
Sir F. out hunting ― returned at 7. ―
So we dined at 7.30. ― “Nonsenses” exhibited, & bed early.
But all really happy ‘lines.’
