Very fine ― & lovely ― N. wind after 3

Worked at Fairbairn’s Florence ― Cypresses & vines. ― Annoyed by Carri. ―

Left off at 3.30 ―― Post Steamer being in.

Letters from J.B. Edwards ― cheery & nice.
& from Edward Clive ― sad enough: ― Mr. Clive has had a fit of Apoplexy, & although recovering, is still ill.

Dream life indeed!

At 5 ― called on Luard, & walked to Candonis, (― Mrs. Woolff out:) ― & so round by Kastrades & home by 7. dined,

Wrote to Ellen & Edwd Clive.

& penned out, (No. 10 ― 1860 Spezzia tour) ― till 11[.]
