Florence ― (cypresses & foreground.) ――― 4 day

Cloudy ―― & rain at times towards 4 P.M.

Worked all day ― 9 to 4.30 at the Florence ― ill enough. ―

Weather warm. Spirits none ― horridly dejected at times ― yet fought it out. And at 5 ― walk to Palœópolis & back by 6.15. Dark clouds & lightening.

Dined ― ate little: & from 7 to 10.30 penned out the whole of the Janina drawings of Apl. 1861 ― the one done with J.B. Edwards. ―

Life is full of weary days.
