Damascus

Dry ― coldˇ[ish] ― gray: & windier.

Severn goes Consul to Rome.

Ὦ τὶ μωρὸς πρόξενος!1

Worked all day at Damascus ― in the front room ― as the other was too cold.

At 5.30 went out: called on Beadon’s, he is more unwell, Markham says.

& James Uwins, who seems to me livelier & healthier. Cab to Roberson’s, & back ― & dined at home.

Letters from Mr. Edwards, G. Scrivens, ― & Mrs. H.J. Hunt. ― And the Masada is hung.
