Thursday, 14 July 1859
Same weather. Off at 9 to Eastbourne.
Went all over the old ground of 1852. 4. 3. Only found rooms in the Sussex Hotel at all possible. Then, at 2 ― at Hastings & the Scrivens, & saw other rooms ― some at Warrior Sqr. I resolve on taking this at 3.10 a week. Dine with the G.S. (first a [walk] with W.S. ― [)]
