(X2)
Greek lesson ―
Very oppressive ― constant fog. Very low spirits.
Worked at a drawing of Parnassus ― for the Photographic dodge. At 2-3 ― came Williams with a group of agreeable people ― who looked at sketches from 3 to 4½. Then W. & I walked to S. Agnese ― but it was slow work ― & foggy weather.
Returned to dine alone at 7. ― Wrote Greek but am dead sleepy.
