V. Petraija. 6.<\/p>\n
Work all day \u2015 barring newspaper, & a long letter to C.F.<\/a> & one to his Aunt. That dear good old Lady is not very well it seems, \u2015 by a nice letter from him to day. One also from Mr. Morier<\/a> later in the day. Weather fine \u2015 sunny but windy.<\/p>\n Worked at the hills & city, in the Petraja: anyhow, much work is done, come it to what it may, & every day, wearily as it goes by, knocks off one more of this phase of destiny.<\/p>\n Read Miss E. Beaufort<\/a>1<\/a><\/sup> at times: too \u201creligious\u201d & flashy. \u2015 Dined at 4 \u2015 on one sole, & 2 potatoes & some few small beers.<\/p>\n At 7.25 walked in the dim dying light. Bed at 9.15.<\/p>\n A week gone here!<\/p>\n [Transcribed by Marco Graziosi from Houghton Library, Harvard University, MS Eng. 797.3.]<\/span><\/p>\n
