Damascus

X2

Dull cold gray day.

Mr. Whitmore called at 10.

Arranged sketches till 12. Then worked at Damascus ― barring that Hervey Bagot came at 2 ― & G. Scrivens at 3. All the pictures seem liked. ―― At 5½ called at the Beadons ― a sick & sad house.

Dined μονος1 ― at the St. James’s Hall ― very well ― 3/6 ― waiting /3d ― Pint of Sherry 2/6 = 6/3.

To-morrow, to the R. Institution.
