Oct 14th Thursday.

Cold clear day. Business again rather dull, few orders coming in this week I have for some time felt exceedingly well bodily my right middlefinger seems also to grow better but I still have spells of extreme sadness on me, and my heart is torn by conflicting doubts and hopes as to A! Slept quite well last night up to this morning. Spend afternoon with Cotterill fixing Theodores will, which I copy clean in the evening, at 9½ P.M. go to bed, have earnest and long conversation in which I go over the whole ground from 1868 up to the present time and elicit all details so that I have a perfect insight into the whole matter. Sleep well and soundly afterwards
