A very wretched night & morning.
Always beautiful weather but cold.
Greek lesson. ― then worked, but badly at Lady R.’s Jerusalem. S.W.C. drawing in the room, but I could not speak to him much.
Worked again, on & off.
Letters from F.L. ― & Daddy Hunt. ――
Later ― Gibbs came ― & at 5 I walked with him. The Palestine plans revive ― but I hardly know what to do.
Dined at home ― & wrote Greek.
