SKY. 3RD TIME OF LARGE CORFU.
PETRA THEATRE.

Sadly worse days. ― Palsied in mind and half in body. ―

Wrote Judea journals till 1.

Then painted ill, & little ― till 6.

I have asked Mr. Edwards 100£ for each of his paintings ― but there are 2 risks ― one of his not acquiescing ― the other that I cannot finish the pictures: for the least discouragement drives me into darkness.
