Thursday,

fine,
mild,
gay,
beautiful
morning.
Wm.
wrote
to
Montagu
in
the
morning....
I
reached
home
just
before
dark,
brought
some
mosses
and
ivy,
and
then
got
tea,
and
fell
to
work
at
German.
I
read
a
good
deal
of
Lessing's
Essay.
Wm.
came
home
between
9
and
10
o'clock.
We

together

Wm.
some
cold

We
walked
first
to
Butterlip
How,
where
we
sate
and

the

and
trees.

Wm.
always
gets
on
better
with
conversation
at
home
than

brought
us
a
letter
from
Mrs.

short
one
from
C.
We
were
perplexed
about

The
