“Had a fair night, but was a little wakeful. Got up earlier & had some milk. – Lenchen came & read some papers. – Out before 1, in the garden chair, Lenchen & Beatrice going with me. – Rested a little, had some food, & took a short drive with Lenchen & Beatrice. – Rested when I came in & at 5.30, went down to the Drawingroom, where a short service was held, by Mr Clement Smith, who performed it so well, & it was a great comfort to me. – Rested again afterwards, then did some signing & dictated to Lenchen.-“
