Monday, 31 December 1860
Irritation. Rose at 7.30 ― packed: & at 8½ looked at rooms below ― & fixed to take them ― for [it’s] waste of all real & chance to leave the Masadas & Cedars.
At 9.15 to Rail ― cold & foggy: at Foords ― sending down 2 men to move the pictures. Called on Mr. Morier, & lunched with him & Miss M.: wonderful man ― 78 Αετ.
Most awful dirt & cold in London.
Waterloo ˇ[Station] before 4 ― [a sentence is crossed out].
Found the pictures moved ― & in the 2 new rooms: passed the evening in unpacking & rearranging ― weary work. ―
and so ends 1860.
