Beir\u00fbt.<\/p>\n
Fine, \u201cSpring,\u201d light bright day.<\/p>\n
Worked, from very early, \u2015 at Beir\u00fbt, all day: i.e. till 4.30. John Simeon<\/a>, & C. Wynne<\/a> came: \u2015 both kindly & pleasant: \u2015 John Simeon is certainly a real good honest man.<\/p>\n No one alse came, & I worked hard all day. \u2015 Yes \u2015 Dickenson<\/a> came, \u2015 with his bill \u2015 210\u00a3 \u2015 discount \u2015 i.e. \u2015 194: not more than I have expected from the great number of frames, cases &c. \u2015 the moving from Rome, \u2015 & the alterations indoors here. \u2015<\/p>\n At 4.30 walked to Frith<\/a>\u2019s: all out.<\/p>\n Then to Crake<\/a>\u2019s, where I passed a very pleasant evening \u2015 & dined. Edwd<\/a> \u2015 was at home, but dined out. \u2015 Cab home. Found Fergusson<\/a>\u2019s Jerusalem sent me from Bickers<\/a> \u2015 \u03b5\u1f50\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b9\u03b6\u03bf\u1fe6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd \u0398\u03b5\u1f78\u03bd!1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Nowhere have I seen any descent to death so wisely, gracefully, & pleasantly carried through as in dear good old Mr. Crake\u2019s case. Every road to intellect clear: \u2015 only gradually all the bodily power fading. \u2015\u2015\u2015<\/p>\n [Transcribed by Marco Graziosi from Houghton Library, Harvard University, MS Eng. 797.3.]<\/span><\/p>\n
