Transcription Notes
Had a much better night and woke fairly refreshed in time for 9 o’clock breakfast. Then went on with my correspondence writing letters to Hickson (concerning my will and power of attorney to Constance) Mrs Kettlewell of Harptree, Mark Cross (to advise them about my old trunk) Steele (asking him to receive & keep my trunk when repaired) and a long letter to Constance asking her to order some shirts for me at Harman’s. Also a letter to Bradley sending him Joans sketch. After tea wrote some more letters and then went downstairs and watched a magnificent thunderstorm with heavy rain. The latter of course spoiled the roads for motoring to St Peter’s Mission tomorrow but it cooled things down a bit. The light in the evening after the storm was quite wonderful and I took a photograph of one of the most beautiful views, but I am almost afraid it won’t come out. The temperature went down about 15 [degrees] during the storm but recovered the greater number of these, alas, before bed-time.Location
