Very calm, warm, fine, windless, all day.

And, spite of predictions, ― the Ancôna boat came in at 8.

Brought, 2 papers, & letters from,
Ellen,
Holman Hunt ― (Egg’s house has been burned.)
& Mrs. G. Clive.

Worked at Gastouri view:
Captn. Balfour called.
& at 4, Miss J.G. & Mrs. N. ―

I am really grieved that they go.

At 5.30 walked the long round.

Dined alone at 8.

& penned out till 10.30.
