Perfect weather to look at but too cold for my task. At work by 6.5. ―

Letters from C.F. W.N. ― C.M.C. ― & good Γεώργιος: ― George tells me poor Spiro has lost his little boy, poor fellow. ― G.’s letter is quite the same true simple Man Friday sort of document as ever.

Worked all day long. At 5 went up Mt. Caburn ― & to the riflemen. B. & I dined alone.
