Monday, 4 July 1859
No rest. ― Yet I rose somewhat earlier, & brisker.
Wrote many letters. ― Dickenson came to hang up pictures. I, worked at Mrs. Potter’s Corfû. ―
Sir J. Simeon came, & paid me for the Ιωάννινα, £50. ― Worked on till 3. ― Then called on Sayers, Andrè, Woodhouse, Milnes, ― & across the Park to Mrs. Evans ― (nice people.) ― & so to Brompton ― & Mrs. Coombe’s. The singular weight of dullness there is terrible. Yet I did my best. ―
Walked home. ―
