Saturday, 5 April 1862
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.
