Hardish frost ― bright ― dry.
Suddingly ― worked all over the Interlaken, Beirût, & Damascus: & screwed them up ― moving them into the bedroom. Shaved the Cedar sky.
At 3 T. Wyatt came ― & bought the Philates!
Then a letter from Worrington ― ditto the Tiber?
Letter from Edwards Père ― also ― very θαυμαζὸν.1 ― There is only Ζαγόρι now for sale. ―
A little walk to Weybridge & round by L. Philippe his tomb ―. “Packed.” ― Dined. ―
Called on & sate with Capt. & Mrs. Huish: ― ― Ἐκεῖνος ἀγαπᾶ τὰ χρήματα.2 Nevertheless they are good people.
Then, Mr. & Mrs. Hardman, & Miss Howard came & looked at the paintings till 11. ―
Ἒπειτα, pace up ὃλα πράγματα ἐῶς τὰς δώδεκα ὣρας.3 ―

Nice letters from Littlegreen also
